Ace Markers
Ace markers are our most
popularly requested item. Two theories
exist about this. The first is that the
green markers look like, well, NOT like
a game piece, and any adult finding one
on the floor would be hard pressed to recognize
it as a stylized cockade. (Little planes,
sure, but green plastic Chinese money?)
The second theory suggests that the little
red crosses were so cool that they were
quickly separated from the game and used
as “Medals” or lunchbox decorations.
Personally, I think they are simply the
right shape and texture for sliding between
couch cushions, and I have found two in
furniture at second hand stores…checking
couches is another discussion I won’t
go into here. As with planes and wings,
the green Ace markers come in 5 different
shades, depending on production. Existing
pieces can be matched, or entire sets matched
and sent. The red markers tend to be quite
uniform in color. Ace markers are bargain
priced at $2.00.
