They are VHS tapes. I think I've seen some sell on ebay before though. I don't think anyone has digitized them, but I am not certain about that.

That does suggest pre-1940 then.
-
Believe it or not, I still watch the videos occasionally. lol

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

Great marbles. I have been after one of the hand-ground ones for a very long time. It seems like the older I get the further I gravitate towards non-glass marbles. -

I'd keep it there.

Looks it to me. Definitely not MFC.
-
I do think the middle one might be Campion.
-
I think you're safe with Alley on #1 and #3.

Sometimes they can get a little red/pink too - dandy marbles, for sure. Like these . . .

The cork looks like it lost it's way a bit too.
-
It looks like a contender to me.
-
It seems to have the colors, although it looks dug.
-
Cool marble. My first thought is European.
-
Does it by chance say Camillus on the small blade?
-
Thanks for the info!
-
Wow, this is really nice - a highly desired gift in the day, no doubt. Thanks a lot for showing it! Are there maker's markings on the knife?
-
This is really interesting, Hansel - not sure I've ever seen such an application on a glass marble - a low temperature fire for decoration? My guess is rolling. Sorry, I couldn't stop myself. 🙂

Nice marble. They're not too uncommon.
-
Bloodies are a source of debate but I do not think most people would consider this marble a Bloody. Where is the transparent red glass?
-
The first three marbles are modern ones, probably from China. The next is a nice German handmade marble cut from a cane. The last one does appear to be a Marble King cross-through Cat's Eye.
-
Vacors are not the only marbles that show an orange peel texture on their surface but many of them, especially larger ones, do show the trait. This marble is not American and may be Vacor but it's pretty hard to tell from a single view.
-
This appears to be a mineral (stone) sphere, not glass. And it does not show the "eyes" typical of Bennington marbles.
-
I think most or all of these are not American made. Some appear to be Vacor marbles from Mexico. Others may be European or Asian. Also, "same cane" is a term used for handmade marbles that are cut from a cane of glass. They will show pontil marks from the process.
