MISCELLANEOUS, Ephemera. Original catalogue page from an early 20th Century wholesale catalogue. Page depicts marbles and pricing. The front, page 703, depicts various German handmade marbles, as well as machine made slags. The marbles are hand illustrated. Manufacturers are not identified, so we can't tell if the slags are M.F. Christensen or German. Interestingly some of the Onionskins are shown as left-twist. The front is in German, English, French and Spanish. The reverse, page 704, lists the wholesale pricing, again in the assorted languages. There are a number of color copies that have been floating around of this. All of those copies were made from this actual original page. Exceptionally rare and highly desirable. The page was folded in half at some point during it's life. There is a 1-3/4" tear along that crease. The page will be shipped flat. 11-1/2" x 15". Since there are both machine made marbles and handmade marbles on this sheet, I would date it to 1910-1925. Very rare. I've put my best guess at an value estimate for this, but there are no market comparables. It is the only one that I know that exists.
