| 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. |
