I am leaning with Art toward foreign over Master.

Very interesting marble, Charlie - it's pretty different. I'm thinking it's an odd Peltier but we'll have to see what others think.

It looks like a pinch pontil transitional to me too.

It's a Honey Bee - extra nice in peewee size.

@Melissa Some very nice Vitros there, Melissa!

It looks legit to me - somebody with a fair amount of cash is going to get a very nice set!

It's beat to a pulp, but I always thought this was a Black Brick - am I wrong? I completely agree, no oxblood = no Brick, at least IMO. As far as I know, only one of the six named "bricks" that Chad showed has any. Please correct me if I am wrong.

That is a reputable site you referenced - I am just unfamiliar with the term "tuxedo" as it relates to alternating black and white strands in a laticcino core, which is very rare indeed. Your first marble is not a laticcino, it is a divided core, so it does not qualify as a "tuxedo" given their use of the term. Some laticcino cores can have colors other than white - imagine your second marble with yellow, orange or green strands in the core lattice. And sometimes, those colors can alternate with white.

I've never heard the term "tuxedo" in relation to a divided core, or any other German handmade for that matter. It might just be me but my guess is it's not a commonly used term, so don't be too surprised if nobody knows what you're referring to when if you use it. 🙂

Might be Vitro, might be Cairo or something else. I know, a lot of help, right? lol

@Al Oregon just posted a 1967 "Mr. Mibbs" blister pack from Chemtoy with Black-line All Reds in it so they were still around then. 🙂

Thanks Mibber!

Neat, Al. The Mr. Mibbs blister appears to be a bit earlier than the "Your Bag of Marbles" bags (I have also seen "Your Tub of Marbles", which I think had Cat's Eyes in it). I'm a little surprised they were still packaging Black Lines in the late 1960s - I thought the newer All Reds came out a bit earlier. Great stuff, as usual - even the bouncy balls are really nice!

Nice bunch of vintage marbles. Mostly West Virginia Swirls (made by several different companies), a couple of Master marbles, a Peltier Rainbo or two, and maybe a couple of Vitros, from what I can see. The fifth column, fifth row might be something, but not much else jumps out at me.

Odds are with Master, IMO. Cool Mib!

It's giving me a MK vibe, although it might be Vitro.

A few Cairos for this weeks Sunday Best . . .

I was off - there are five 7/8" marbles. Interestingly, the K-Mart price tags are on the cardboard inside the bag. Chemtoy did a variety of marbles packaging for K-Mart K-Kids and other retail outlets.

I am so sorry that I passed on erroneous information about George. I am very disappointed with myself for not better vetting the information I was given before sharing it. My most sincere apologies to anyone who may have been adversely affected.

You might get a start at this site but it has an expired security certificate so use it at your own risk - many do. Pete Caparelli (RIP) once had a pretty comprehensive spreadsheet - if you're lucky @Al Oregon might still have a copy.

How about Vitro and MK? 😉

Nice, Joep. I'm digging the ones with "black". Thanks for posting them!

It's a Vitro Superior with one of Vitro's versions of "oxblood" (purists probably wouldn't call it oxblood but it's about as close as Vitro gets). It's not so uncommon on these types. The two in the back have it . . .

That's a good bag. Chemtoy packaged lots of Vitros for sale in stores like K-Mart. All of the "This is Your Bag of Marbles" bags I have seen contain later All Reds (not Black Line All Reds), like yours. I also have these same (but smaller) bags with four large marbles. I'll try to get you a pic tomorrow.

My bet is because you just haven't seen some marbles you like even better . . . yet. lol Nice Rainbow!
