ALPHABET DANGLES

ALPHABET DANGLES are plastic prizes from the 1950s. They are marked "C.J.C.O." on the back and come in various colors. Red and yellow are significantly common colors. Other colors such as green, blue, and the translucent colors of amber, cobalt, and ruby can be found in most collections, but not nearly as frequently as the common red and yellow. Some of the more difficult colors to find in any quantity include the pastel or baby colors of pink and blue, and a pale yellow color some collectors call "white." I find the subject of color distribution in this set to be a grand part of this hobby. When I originally started my study, I made the statement that there is a finite set of colors in ALPHABET DANGLES. For the most part, that is still true. Any of the colors I have seen that do not fit into my original group of colors identified for this set have ended up being mixtures of the normal colors in what I call mottled or marblized colors. The one exception is that there is a color that is gold which I have not added to my collection yet. Go to ALPHABET DANGLES Colors to learn more about ALPHABET DANGLES.
