Original Samsonite "Golden Rule" Opalescent Red Marble in Acrylic Box. Marble is 3/4 inch in diameter.Originated a century ago by Jesse Shwayder, co-founder and president of the Samsonite Corporation, this treasured keepsakes went out of production about 50 years ago. When Shwayder was president of Samsonite from 1910 to 1960, he gave all company employees and plant visitors a special marble encircled by a bronze band on which was written the Golden Rule. The marble was to serve as a reminder to live and work according to the universal philosophy, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Even two generations later, when he would visit the family's factories, Shwayder would still see employees proudly carrying their keepsake Golden Rule Marbles. By the 1970s, the marbles had gone out of production and became precious collectibles.
