Steph Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 just in case you, like I, have immediately suspected backfilling when you've seen cat's eyes in Alox packaging, ... don't be too quick on that. Alox definitely distributed cat's eyes. Nancy has them in original packaging as well as loose from unpackaged factory stock. and here's a fun little bit of ephemera she showed me.

Steph Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I for one can hardly wait! How awesome to get to meet them in person. I've talked with her on the phone, and she was simply super. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunnersDad Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Joe and Steph it was a real treat! Jack just had hip surgery so I met him at the hospital...Really nice man, and in good spirits too boot. Nancy is a great women as well and is just a wealth of Alox information. I had no idea that they were as diversified as they were when it came to children's toys and such. I have some pictures and things that I will post on the boards...probably tomorrow when I have more time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Steph - were any of the cat's-eyes like the MK ones? Or like the ones in this Alox bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I kinda got the impression of both. The ones on the lower left here seem to have the look of yours. Coming across as more delicate in general than MK. But some looked more solid too. These are from unpackaged factory stock. The green looks a little delicate maybe. The yellow, red and white look very solid. Mr. Frier has confirmed that the cat's eyes were purchased from other factories. I suppose more than one company is possible. If I find out who I'll add the info. update: some of the unpackaged cats may have been samples sent to Alox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Racer Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 My Alox mesh bag has some cats mixed in it too. Here are some pix that I wish to share. I found this bag at a garage sale recently. Gave them $20 for it. Thanks for all your recent help with this bag for me Steph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
