I second the Asian opinion on the striped ones.
I've seen many of them for sale on UK E-bay

Here are some,,Same Maker & Pattern, Different Color

Good job for a first picture post. I remember how excited I was the first time it worked for me -- even if the picture was somehow upside down!

Galen, when you say Asian marbles just what do you have in mind? i would like to be able to do some research on them and also the green ones. how many other marbles companies are there in the rest of the civilized world?

They make(made)marbles in Taiwan, Hong Kong, India, China, Japan, Malaysia, and probably other countries. Many Imperial packages are marked with several possible countries of origin

The green ones are interesting but I don't have a guess for who made them. Having so many similar ones together would suggest that they might be modern. But I don't recognize them as a modern marble.



The green ones came with a shooter?

That sort of sounds like it might have been a Mega Marble set. I still don't recognize the style. But Mega does sell nets with lots of small ones and one big one.

Marie, I think you may just have to wait until someone else comes across some. Maybe the next set will come with more clues about who made them.

They're a mystery right now.

No one is holding out on you. We'd help if we could.

Promise! ( :
