I would guess the marbles were made by Tinka sometime after they opened in 1953 and probably arrived in Toronto on a truck, after being picked up at a Canadian sea port. Here are a few earlier posts for reference:
-
When I see patches like this I think about Peltier (or maybe Vitro for the right one). But these are not examples that I readily recognize so I am not entirely sure the marbles were made in America.
-
I think both marbles you have shown are JABO Classics.
-
Well, Jess, add three or four more companies and you've got yourself an Ebay listing!
-
If it is large, I would think JABO too.
-
Welcome to the marble connection Barry. Your marble is not Christensen. My first thought is Champion Agate, but it would help to know how big it is.
-
Wow, Aiko, this is great - an excellent story! Some of the marbles are very unexpected - such a variety. I will no doubt spend much time studying this post. Thank you very much for sharing it with us! This was the first marble that caught my eye . . .
-
Wow, Jess - awesome additions to the thread this week! And FWIW, if it that metallic swirl was mine, I'd have it with my Ravenswoods. 🙂
-
Hmmm . . . My first impression is newer. What size is it?
-
I'm thinking it's a Peltier Rainbow. There was a bubble just beneath the surface and the glass covering it shattered. That's why the bottom/sides of the hole is smooth and the upper/surface edges are rough. These are often referred to as "blowouts". A "bubble pop" would be smooth all around.

Looks like an Alley Agate to me.

A couple of my finds from this morning. :-) After organizing them

Nice score! -
Tommy's posting up some outstanding marbles today!
-
Oh boy, Tommy - that's a great marble. Get a load of the cut-off on that thing! @Shamrock Marbles
-
No kidding! It's remarkable how much more sane the search results are if you add "-ebay" to your google marble searches.
-
@davesnothere I'm thinking about German Sparklers for your OP.
-
They're Guttas . . .
-
These are from Dave's first two experimental runs at JABO (pre-Classics) - 1991 (two outer) & 1992 (middle).
-
I think these will work for Swirly Saturday . . .
-
Based on the bag and the marbles, Asian is my guess.
-
I think it might be an exceptionally nice Akro Tricolor Patch.
-
Not Pelt - I'm thinking about CAC possibilities.
-
Hmmm, I think it's probably a contract run - might be DAS.
-
I should be able to find it.
-
I'd say that is more a Stormy Sky, Dave.
