This is a great old thread I just stumbled across. Edna-thanks for taking the time to post all of this. Just pointing out this box has JABOs in it circa 1996 and not Vitros.
If not Playrite, then
Who made the shooter? Who made the rest of the marbles?
Edited to show that I am humble and am not pretending to know anything about Playrite or Jackson marbles.
They are JABOs and a dime each in that quantity is accurate. They will sell for a dime each IMHO. The pink in the base will light up with a blacklight. If you mention the UV reactive nature they will sell no problem at all.
I can't put my hands on the tray that has my one offs from this run at the moment, but I found some doubles that were pretty close to what I was talking about. I thought I had a perfect match but they are trayed up in hiding.
all I was going to say is that there are some 3/4" JABO Mamie Veterans that are very close to some Alley West Virginians even with very similar flame structure. People need to be aware of them. The JABO shade of blue is slightly different so you can tell them apart. This blue does not match the JABOs (I went and checked).
I found a scale online that goes from "itty bitty" to "whopper." 13/16" fell in the whopper range. Never heard of these. I like "weewee" for 3/8" and smaller peewees
I use "jumbo" to mean 1 1/16"-1 3/8" range marbles. Vacor/Mega marbles has their own fairly comprehensive list of sizes. Akro set the standard sizes back in the day and I guess Vacor sets the standard sizes today.
