FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 IS THAT ONE OF THE THE VITRO BOXES FROM NEW PHILLY(JIM'S COLLECTION)?DO WE "KNOW" THERE THE RIGHT MARBLES?----MY FRIEND THAT BOUGHT HIS COLLECTION,WOULD LIKE TO KNOW(AND ME TOO)!!!THANKS,,,GRIFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spara50 Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 Griff, I make it clear in my eBay description that this box was found empty and I added the marbles. I have no idea what was supposed to be in the box, just that it could be from the 40's when Vitro went to Parkersburg. I don't believe a box has been found with the marbles. It is not out of the question that tri-lites could have been in the box, and so I put in some of my very nicest same runs to fill it. It seems that the box would have had high quality marbles in it, not something common like All Reds. i am sure Chuck & Dianne could shed some light on the subject. This is just a guess. This is not one of the boxes out of the collection from New Philly, but was one of three found together by the former owner of that collection. I have two of them so I am selling one. Thanks for asking! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Marbles Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 Why are the fantasy boxes in the pre-1970 category? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spara50 Posted November 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 William, I have sold quite a few of these boxes with vintage marbles in them and so I had them in the pre-1970. I copy the auction listing and re-work it with different boxes. I forget to change the category on them sometimes. They are clearly marked as not being vintage either way.

William Marbles Posted November 9, 2006 Report Share Posted November 9, 2006 (edited) Honest mistake, Craig. I just wondered was all. I have the pic's from the New Philly show, I wonder why all those boxes have tape on them... Do the other Vitro boxes you have seen have the tape as well??? Thanks, William Edited November 9, 2006 by William Marbles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spara50 Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2006 I have only seen the three boxes, and all have at least a little tape on them. It looks like the only way they had to keep the ends from sliding open. Auctions ending Sunday night! Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
