This is a very hard set to find with only one other known to exist. Yellow box has no markings on the outside but on the inside is the Akro stamped logo and the Akro Agate Co. Clarksburg W. VA. The box contains 40 original marbles of various sizes with numbers above each sleeve of five marbles. The four sleeves on the left contain patched moss Agates and the four sleeves on the right contain patched Royal's. The largest marbles are No. 56 which are 1" marbles. The second number, six represents size and the 1st number, 5 could represent type of marble for each sleeve. T.A Holland is also stamped on inside of the box several times. This box was originally found in an attic of a hardware store in New Jersey and was purchased by Akro collector, Roger Hardy. The inside of the box is wood with overlaid paper. Box top is missing one side edge, as well as tape on two of the corners. Box is fair to good condition.
Condition: (9.0).
Item Dimensions: 9/16" to 1" Dia.
