Oop !! I meant to say #4 and #5, not 3 and 4 my bad, sorry bout that one. Yes 4 is German S.O. & 5 is Vacor, right I.D.'s wrong #'s on the marbles !! The entire world has Asian & Vacor, Vacor produces over 12 million per day & in business since 1934. Then there's China, making them by the ton not by the millions, trying to overtake Vacor as the leading distributor of glass marbles worldwide copying many of Vacors patterns adding to all the confusion. Marble King is holding on but because of the competition I fear not for long, sadly the last marble manufacturer in the US.

Just me but I've seen these before, they look like MK or Vitro but something just a little off. There had to be more than just Vitro and MK show up overseas. The fact that there are some marbles that have traits from both MK and or Vitro on the same mib make me a bit apprehensive !! I believe they're all foreign ?? Other marbles from different people in the same area have some of the same dual identity thing going on. Everyone was confused for a couple weeks and still the differing I.D.'s continue. Just saying when I have doubts there's usually a reason. Maybe you got a few in trade that are American no doubt. The #3 is a foreign S.O. & last one looks like Vacor, the only two I.D.'s I have confidence in

Meouch !!!

Nice "Vitro Windex" not an oddball but a very nice cat !! =

I think I might have some stripeys and other cats from your side of the pond on the way, looks like time to take some new pix finally ?? I just bought some grey and other neutral colored felt mats yesterday so I'm ready and waiting !! "I think " ??

They certainly look "same run" whatever they are, probably came off the rollers close to one another and been together ever since ??

I can't I.D. them, foreign to me, not MK or Vitro, traits of both w/ a few Akro looking seams thrown in for good measure

Here's my score today !! Can you see it, you might have to look really close and use your imagination. There they are, I can see e now

Slim pickins is better than no pickins, nice bonuses Brother !!

They look vacor to me, the colors are really off and the structure isn't quite right for Jabo. They do have a "butcrack" looking fold, but ?? I wouldn't be surprised if someday you stumble onto some Jabo, they certainly made enough to have them show up just about anywhere !!

No idea on the maker for this one ?? I thought "Atmospheres" were all at or near an inch, don't believe I've ever seen a 5/8ths one ??

I knew the little green dude had a stash !!

You must have a "Killer" toy collection too Gladys ?? Yoda looks like he should be holding a mib !!

Vitro

You're welcome !!

Is there a surprise in the box ........ Hopefully it's marbles ?? ........ ........ maybe this some kinda marble torture ?? ........ wait then I will ........ ........ Hmm Hm Hmm ........ ........ is this the torture part ?? ........ ........ I think it's starting to work ........ ........ got any spare butter ?? ........!!!!!!!!!

"Happy Akro Friday" More Akroware, a two handled unmarked basket I don't believe any of the authentic Akroware baskets like this are marked w/ either the Akro logo or a number. I just seen few repros last week, all of them made of one or two color transparent glass, but each a perfect replica and unmarked like this one. This one's two handled, they also made a one handled version. VHTF a one handled w/ an unbroken or intact handle. All I've ever found have been broken and or missing pieces of the glass handle.

Excellent display Joep, I like em, they hold a surprising amount of mibs !!

I agree, Alley !! Nice ribbon color combo !!

Mellow

Looks like those first few have "Cat scratch Fever" ....

Alright, "Thanks for the pics" I think I may have one or 2, time to dig again, I'll let ya know how goes the progress.

Nice mibs as always Bill .....

Isn't it weird that every time I look at my clambroths they seam a little more weathered ?? Like they fall apart all by themselves, I've isolated one to see if the glass actually deteriorates by itself or not. Sounds crazy I know bout after close inspection over the years it sure seams to be true ?? Guess we'll find out "maybe" ?? AH, nice mibs yes !!

"Happy Thüringen Thursday" True "Pee - Wee's" all below the .50" mark No visible facets on this agate, doesn't mean they're not there, I may be blind but I haven't seen that many hand faceted mibs this small.
