This is a little creepy-but-fun item I trash picked from the giant dumpster across the street. It's a game called "Marblehead" made by Ideal, c.1969.
You may remember that post a couple weeks ago where they brought in the dumpster to clean out our former neighbor's house. I finally got over there on Mother's Day (gift to self!) and my brother & I grabbed some goodies which will be featured here in the next couple of weeks.
It was mostly a garage-cleanout, and there were several games and sports items that I looked over. This game was completely intact and apparently never used. That's a minor miracle because the box contained about 50 marbles- how they didn't end up all over the bottom of the dumpster I'll never know.
The fun part is that by doing so, a lot of other marbles come rolling out all over the place. Fun, that is, if you're 2 and 5 and not mommy who has to get them all off the floor before someone goes flying. It's like a cartoon waiting to happen!
Oh the absolute joy of filling a plastic head full of marbles and then poking your finger in a hole to get them out. Sounds like a game the Addams children would play, except those marbles would be eyeballs instead. Fun!!
ReplyDeletelol, that is a little creepy!
