Logo marbles are now mostly made in Asia without the maker getting a legal license. The Asian makers have mostly put the American makers out of business because of that. ... but logo marbles are still fun to have

Just wondering if anyone collected these?
Steph replied to Marblesguy's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Hello. Welcome. Nice set. -
They could be Asian as well as Mexican.

I am aware of some old handmade styles which could be deemed confetti. But almost any confetti you would run across in the wild would be a modern marble.
-
I would estimate 1980s to present.

I really do see what you're getting at. These which you are showing today are nicely constructed. Wish I could be more helpful. Signed, Here for moral support

The gold is a lovely shade which makes me think of MFC but the white looks translucent enough to stop me from feeling confident that it could be MFC batch glass. Signed, Not a handgathered specialist

Does this one glow under blacklight?

I _think_ I still have mine. I thought about passing it along but I think I'd remember if I followed through ... maybe ....
-
I can see Cosmic Rainbow there
-
That was my first thought but the seeming lack of veneering made me look elsewhere.

Jabo to me, or one of the relatives such as DAS. I do not know all the possible runs it could be attributed to but April Fling seems like a good guess here. @Nantucketdink?

I would have pegged this as a Vitro Cat's Eye.

Tricky. I see three different choices. Right now I'm leaning Pelt. Later when someone else comes up with the right answer, I will say "Yeah, that's what I meant!"

Did you click on the "choose files" option to try to upload a photo? Did that not work out for you? If that didn't work, is the picture something that you could copy and paste? I copied and pasted this screenshot of the "choose files" option from the bottom of the reply window.

Most of it is saying "Jabo" to me. A little bit about the texture is allowing me to think _possibly_ a messed up Akro. Did it come to you in a group which would provide context?

marbles Help identifying marbles and potential value
Steph replied to Brittney Banker's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Thank you for the overview of your marbles. You have a wide mix of ages and makers. Blacklights are rarely needed for ID. To start getting help with IDs, only post a few marbles per thread. Say, four or fewer. Threads get confusing very quickly if we have to keep track of many marbles at once. -
I moved up here to Wisconsin from Oklahoma in 2001. I chose Wisconsin for the snow and we did okay through the years but now finally some good stuff! This was the largest snow event I have ever been in. After having a forecast of over 24" and then it shrinking to 8" or less, I was delighted with what our local observation station measured as 21.5. On the first day, before my houseguest and I got tired out from all the shoveling we would eventually do, we made my first proper snowman, with rolling the snow into large balls and everything. His name is Piney. ❤️

3 marbles there? Jabo on the last. Possibly Akro cork on first but I need more pix. My first thought was Jabo in the middle, but then it started seeming possibly vintage, so more photos there could help out too.
-
Yes, Akro corkscrew. Not sure if it would be called a Superman. Maybe. But with all those lines it is more interesting than the simple Superman.
