The pictures show a front and back view of the (2) Artist Made Cracker Jack Sailor Jack & Bingo Blue Advertising Sulphide Marbles in this lot. One of these has a sulphide figure of Sailor Jack saluting and the other is of his dog Bingo. The figures inside were made from a 1950s Sailor Jack & Bingo Cracker Jack prize. I had contracted with a California Artist to create a handful of clear marbles to give to some special Cracker Jack collector friends of mine in the 1990s. He had decised to test make a few sets of them in blue glass, this set, and the other is in my own collection. The Artist no longer makes any marbles. The sulphide pieces inside do not have the detail that the first ones had. They were made in the same way, by hand, as these type marbles were made back in the 1800s. They have the usual manufacturing flaws such as bubbles in the glass. The marbles each measure about 1-5/16'' wide. These are in as made condition, as pictured. |
