Here's another hopefully better pic-. The marbles are all about 1/2 inch and sort of common swirl type. The trade-mark is:J.W.S.&S. Bavaria. winnie Back to top that1 Joined: 15 Aug 2007 Posts: 365 Location: here Posted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 9:25 pm    Post subject: Cool board! some of the "common swirl types" can have symmetrical patterns that really stand out on the clear base glass. Is that handwriting above the rules? Can you see what it says?

It has been written with crayon,so i can clean it. I will not do that,find it kind of cute. The children obvious like to play this game. winnie Back to top lstmmrbls Site Admin Joined: 05 Aug 2007 Posts: 696 Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2011 10:29 am    Post subject: Very interesting to see it in Dutch, I have only seen it in English. _________________ Peace,Galen Back to top Kraut Joined: 05 Sep 2007 Posts: 210 Posted: Sat Mar 05, 2011 10:32 am    Post subject: Is it dated anyplace, Winnie?

The only mark is the trade mark it says not where it's made. The company J.W.S.&sons was registered in 1879 in Fuerth near Nuremberg-Germany. Here is some more info. http://www.vam.ac.uk/moc/collections/toys/manufacturers/britain/j_w_spear/index.html winnie Back to top David Chamberlain Joined: 18 May 2009 Posts: 214 Posted: Sun May 01, 2011 3:41 pm    Post subject: I've had this illustrated boxed set twice, once with German Swirls and my current one with common Chinas. Love the cover! I'm suspecting that it really messed up Freud's mind attempting to solve the game and then he passed it on down to us.....the messed up mind, that is.
