I called the number and dashed out the door. No marbles too speak of but look what he did have. My wife asked "and what do you plan on doing with that". Simple answer really.....fill it up with marbles. LOL Thanks for looking Charles Back to top kris7047th Joined: 04 Aug 2007 Posts: 777 Location: Monroe,Michigan Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2007 8:33 pm    Post subject: WOW!!

These are very hard to come by in decent condition and they bring a hefty price. My grandfather picked mine up in the 1950's and reconditioned it for me when I was little. It has traveled far and wide with me and did see some *hard* times, basement flooding. I reconditiond mine two years ago to store my marble collection.

I already have a wide six drawer spool cabinet. I lined the shevles with dimpled foam and store my marbles that way. My problem now is finding a place to put it.
