The Nickel Guy Posted Monday at 05:40 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 05:40 PM When we arrived at the show there were numerous boxes donated by Mr. Alley for take away for free just inside the door. Mr. Alley had a made-over box on his table that said something with a note on it stating "What I do with the boxes" with marbles inside. I got two very similar boxes. Took them home and removed several stubborn stickers on each and it took me a couple months to get the top cut out. Finally I took them to the mirror and glass shop and a couple weeks later they had glass mounted in the lids. THANK YOU MR. ALLEY !!! I hope to show them to him when I meet him again at a future show. I ordered some bamboo flat pieces cheap on Amazon. I was going to use Balsa wood to section the interior off for rows of marbles but the Bamboo will do I hope. ___________________ Then I was at a yard sale recently and picked up a half dozen of these little kid toys. They are called Charvi Pop It Silicone Stress Relief Toys They are awesome for 5/8th marbles. It is so easy to pick them up and they stay in the position you place them without rolling around. I use them for sorting but one happened to just fit in my slightly larger of the two cigar boxes. I probably won't use these rainbow Pop It's in the boxes but here's a picture of some really nice Vacor Old Fashion Swirls in the box. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Posted Monday at 09:38 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 09:38 PM I sure wish there were marble shows where I live. All we have here is a few picked threw antique shops in a 300 mile radius...😔 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
