<div><div>I found this article from 2006 - The <strong>I</strong><font style="background-color: #ffffff"><strong>deal</strong> Toy Corp. of New York issued its <strong>Fortune</strong> <strong>Telling</strong> <strong>Crystal B</strong><font color="#000000"><strong>all</strong> in the 1940s. The cobalt blue sphere adorned with gold tarot card symbols held 70 fortunes -- 35 for boys, 35 for girls. Like with a gumball machine, guests needed to place a penny in the slot to win their <strong>fortune</strong>. Value: $65. </font></font></div><div> </div><div><br /></div></div>
