Just read this and remembered your post. Which is a monumental task that I even remembered! lol

Bogard Marbles, C.E. Bogard & Sons, The Bogard Co. Produced in Cairo, Nutter Farm Road, and Reno Ohio. On Page 48 of the American Machine Made Marbles book.

Says they made a limited amount of Pink transparents, but it was hard to perfect the color and didn't sell great. Says they got the glass from Federal Glass Co.

Very cool, eh? :) Opps, my Michigan is showing! haha

Tracy, I look forward to seeing that one, once you have it...sounds lovely!

m!b$..that is to kewl, wouldn't mind being able to dig something like that up when I am gardening.

Gary, thank you for that information. I am wondering if, because they were clearies, they didn't sell as well as others...hmmm

Don't know how popular clearies were in the 70's but they've been big sellers in times past.

Bogard didn't have a lot of luck with toy marble sales in general. Jack Bogard did lots of work making a market for industrial marbles as agitators in aerosol cans. Industrial marbles is what his focus was. He took that with him to Jabo. (He's the Bo in Jabo.)

I have found that pink marbles are very good sellers.

I think that Pink has become a much more desirable and far more accepted than it once was. It is now fashionable for both men and women too proudly wear Pink, and I believe that freedom is also represented in other items such as Marbles.

Use a online translator Steph, just type in Google, Translate German to American and it should pop up a link, and then you just copy and paste in the box where it ask you to and hit convert and it will translate for ya!

babel fish didn't make me feel secure enough to actually make contact through email. forget about trying out the phone number. ;-)
