We have several vintage Italian pottery pieces the are numbered and have the creator's company hand painted on the bottom.  These are unique pieces, but we cannot find any information about the companies or the pieces.  The first one to post valid information about any of the Italian pottery will receive a hand crafted pot holder.

Sorry to say that I did not learn anything new about the Wizball except that it was a very small company and they did produce just a few games.  Therefore, we can say that the Wizball game is rare and you can get it here.

The most fun item that I have come across in my parent's treasures is the Pixieware that was created from 1958 to 1962.  This East American art form was created by John and Robert Howard along with Grant Holt.  They met and became friends at Amherst College.  In 1949 their parents lent them $9000 to start a business in an apartment on 35th street, New York City.  Their first production was a three piece set of pixiware : mustard, ketchup and Jam and Jelly which sold for $4.95 a set. Check out the store to see "Jam and Jelly". Each whimsical expression matched what the fellows thought would go with the condiment they were to hold.  This was so widly successful that they went on to produce more condiment jars, salt and pepper shakers as well as whiskey bottles.  All told they came up with 60 varieties from 1958 to 1962.  Other companies then began to imitate pixieware.  What a great American story of how capitalism works. I was a teen at the time, but was not aware of this most fun pottery.

A free homemade pot holder to the first person to send in a true story about using original Holt Howard (marked on the bottom) pottery.

This game has me stumped. The box says that it was manufactured by the Stampit Corporation in Brookfield, Ill. Cannot find anything on the internet about the Stampit Corporation or this game. Even called a resident of Brookfield, Ill. and they had never heard of it. Can you help me?

Did you play with this game as a child? Have your heard about Stampit Corporation? Did you work for them? How old is the game? If you can provide any relevant information to me, I will send you a handmade crocheted potholder that my husband's Grandmother taught me to create.
