This video covers nearly the entire vintage Alley Agate marbles packaging catalog, described by historian Ron Shepherd. There is a general price guide included for several of the items covered here. Many of the Alley marbles packaging products were sold by jobbers, under contracts from Lawrence Alley. The J. Pressman toy company from New York and Berry Pink were probably their main contractors and sold millions with their own branding. Alley agate produced the largest, and some of the most collectable selection of West Virginia Swirl marbles between 1929-1949.
Some of the packaging highlighted in this video are :
1930’s Lucky Boy center sewn net bags
Royal Immies Cellophane bags
Worchester Salt net bags
Hop Ching Chinese Checker sets
Hop Ching Chinese Checker 60 count bags
Hop Ching cloth bags
“Frolic’s Alleys” marbles jobber box with perhaps Alox marbles inside
Allies 3 count mini box from Pressman
Big Nickle boxes
Big Dime boxes
Bulls Eye boxes
Big Shot boxes
St. Mary’s era net bags
St. Mary’s era plastic bags
1940’s era soda pop bottle hanger bags
B-1 Lemon Lime soda bottle set with marbles hanger bag
“The Winner State Champ”cloth marbles bag
Sure Shot Pennsboro era marbles boxes
