Welcome!

Gorgeous

Mostly modern and common.  They couple which might not be aren't standing out to me as very valuable. 

I am not able to make out what kind of marble is in the top left of this image.    The red and white halfway down is also different and I can't tell if it would be older or newer. However, even if older, it's not standing out as something to sell individually.  

Where are you hopoing to sell them?

So very interesting.

It's amazing how much history a small toy can have, and how the history of a toy can be intertwined with the history of a country's economy and its people.   I've thought this often about America.  I see it is so in Japan also.

Hey Folks, after 3 years I finally found the full song "Rolley Hole Man" on an unopened cassette in the archives. I was trying to move a box that was above my head, and since it had some weight to it I just popped the lid, felt around, and pulled out the first thing I could get a grip on. 

It was a sealed copy of this tape, followed by over 20 others. Here is the link:

Bravo!

Nice effort.  

MFC did come in at least 0 through 10.  Here's are pages from an advertising booklet.   I _think_ there are vintage slags in sizes greater than 1 1/8, but my memory on all of these things has grown fuzzy.  



 

Jabo please!

Not sure I've heard of that before.  What's the general idea of it?

I'm rootin for you!

Here?






p.s., nice big popeye!

Here are a couple of threads, one old, one newer.

Here are some better photos in sunlight, I included a few closeups of the individual marbles too. These are in the Master Marble style, some mention in the comments that these could be made in Argentina, I haven't heard about Argentinian marbles in this style, maybe they got hold of a machine from the USA. There are other marble styles mixed in too, I tried to pull the dig-finds and cats-eyes out of the nicer marbles. Wondering if I should split the collection up or try to sell it together as a lot?

Love these.  I could believe them as South American.   

Not yelling Vacor to me.  My first thoughts were Akro and Jabo.  

No useful information from me.

Cute one.

Wow.  Marble royalty! How did you come by such a treasure?

Yum!

🤣

Make it a good one.    

👍

Thank you.   I never would have guessed the stripeys were so early.  Winnie said that she had a for sure pre-WWII box of marbles with them, but still I couldn't wrap my head around it.  These days my memory is not serving me very well but I will try to make a place for this. 

Wow.  Way to nail down a date.   Gorgeous pictures too.  

Fun find!

Awww.  Good job.
