Ahhh !!

"Happy Marble King Monday"

Fantastic !!! Home at last !!

Is that Nessy ?? I think Patty finally captured the picture everyone's been waiting for !! Just look at the resemblance ! What a stroke of luck !!

Thanks Al !!

Another "Sharp Shooter" Header, all of them I found say out of stock, so several different headers though this one does say, online toys Australia www.onlinetoys.com.au. Which says their out of stock so "all gone" maybe a few bags floating around Ebay somewhere ?? Ah, found a bag for sale, these certainly resemble Vacor, especially the ones pictured on the header !!

Guess this was correct after all, I'll bet those were Vacor mibs they just gave them a different looking Header w/ a Cowboy & Kangaroo on it as some kinda marketing ploy to sell more in Australia ??

Hey, I think I see a woman w/ a bag of cabbage hiding behind Herbie

Yeah team !!

This is the lower (R) hand corner of the third "Sharp Shooter" header, same header as # 1, you can barely make out "Mexico" All The other images of vintage "Sharp shooter" headers say "Made In Mexico" and the newer looking ones that are for sale have no visible provenance anywhere. I got lots of replies when I googled "Where were Sharp shooter marbles manufactured, no headers like these, similar that they were round but all different colors and no "Cowboy & Kangaroo"

Well your curiosity has lead you to the right place, this is it, you'll find many, many posts on different peoples hobbies here amongst other things. Have fun !!

I have many posts here, an outdoorsman I enjoy nature and anything to do ew/ it. Fishing, gourmet mushroom hunting etc... many of us have loads of posts here, very revealing as to get to know the person through what they like to do. You're artwork is great, can't wait to get something new & refreshing on my wall It's due for a facelift !!

I have loads and loads of frames and my friend does framing as a hobby, matting, borders triples everything what ever I want so yes, I'm in for a couple, just gotta make up my mind !!

Yes, yes, very reasonable, you'll have a sale here pretty shortly, I'm looking things over, some great work and as you said I see several different thigs in the picture every time I look at them, what do you call, Uh, impressionist art ??

Ah ! can't get it to play, tried several different things, you'll get it !!

Alright, beautiful, great work !! How?? paint, alcohol and air to push it ?? You're Avatar almost has a face on it !! "Thank you for posting your work, will you sell any prints or originals if I may ask ??

Hmm ?? I'm getting the run round trying to find the manufacture location of the "Sharp Shooter" mibs. The 1981 one say "sold in Australia" but it won't confirm a location or show a place of manufacture on any of the labels, really strange, I looked at tons of pictures, and you can get some new ones right now from various stores but not a one of them specifies the manufacture or country of origin when you click on specifications ??. I'm really quite perplexed, when I click on any pic of the vintage bag or listing it says something went wrong, I've tried everything, even skirting around it, "Nothin" I'll get to the bottom of it or someone will !! The newer bags suggest an Australian based manufacture ?? Oh boy, the link I copied won't respond either, goes to the same message "somethings wrong" & "try later" It shows the sharp shooter header but that's it ?? Grrrr, what a trip, I thought for sure these were Vacor ?? They might be but like Steph said I've never heard of them before either. Maybe someone will hear me ?? Ready ... Heeeelp !!!!!!!! ... Wait on it ... wait ...

This is all I could find on "Sharp Shooter Marbles" evidently not Vacor I guess ?? They sure look like it, I did find some newer bags of them being sold in Australia & the look exactly like Vacor, I'll dig a bit more, here's all I could find, the server wouldn't respond ??

I remember .... "Hulk Smash" .... ....

William is there right now also !!

Great, see ya in the lounge !!

Yeah Brother !!

As you can see I actually found a picture of cabbage head. Evidently not the master of planning ahead, a "Super Genius" Musta got his cabbage makin sandwich license & card from this guy ?? Just in case ya need one for a trip, or don't remember how to make a cabbage sandwich here's the link, guess you must get a card upon completion of a long & rigorous training course ??
