The spot I do not really see as a detriment here. Did you know that Marble companies purchased “cullet”(broken unused glass) from the same company that made "Ponds Cold Cream Jars? I just love a good “Opal” marble. Perhaps @Alan can give us some more depth here on the opal cullet. Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 @Alan Good post, Alan. It really is important to keep things in perspective. The guys that were making these marbles in the 1930s were probably earning around $2.00 a day. And I'll bet they never could have imagined that one day, one of the 10,000 marbles they made on a given day might sell for a full year of their salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted July 24 Report Share Posted July 24 NO DOUBT! Come home dirty and tired. Eat a can of beans and whatever else you have and go to bed. Wake up with a cup of coffee from the grounds you saved and go back to work wearing the same dirty work clothes and hoping you don’t get busted up and can’t work. There wasn’t any real romance going on. A lot of women were doing the QC and sorting out the pit bound marbles.These marbles were being made during the Great Depression. So….here we are. Somewhere down the road there were nail and railroad spike factories being made as well. Both sides of my family were farmers. My Great Grandma told me if I get a high paying job….just don’t forget were I came from🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
