  1. I know that you like the Coke stuff Mojo so good for you. I love to see when a collector gets his/her mojo on😁. The Logo may be a clue as to the age but you would have to research it via Europe imho. Then again it may have been used as a selling point usung an aged logo. I have a feeling that most of this type ended up in the scrap bin, they just did not work out marketing wise. You may have what we here in the USA regard as "lunchbox marbles". Marbles that did not work out well but were cool enough to bring home in the "lunchbox"--in a sneaky fashion. Like stealing toilet paper from work (I never did this). NEVER!😁. Thanks for sharing them--they are quite rare imho. I just love this stuff!! Marble--On!!
  2. They were very competitive, these two companies. There are many stories of some very dark stuff that may have occurred between the two. Ultimately Master Marble Company won out and purchased Akro. The Japanese influx of marbles eventually shut them both down. Master Glass Company (the newer name for Master) used Akro boxes and marbles in the final sales era. They never did too well aesthetically with their cats-eye rendition but they tried and of course they worked. I love a good Master Glass Cat—most are pretty crappy looking but some are just killer. Hope this helps, Marble—On!!
  3. It is a nice box and I am hoping that someone who loves someone purchased this as a gift. Ya never know do ya! Marble--On!!

    I am cool with it too William. Marble ID by images is not an easy thing for the most part and It may just be a Vacor. Marble--On!!

    Very interesting for sure. More images are needed. The middle one is more than likely a foreign made marble but it is very nice. Purple is a rare color in any marble from any maker worldwide. More and clearer images are needed for sure. Marble—On!!

    Vitro---hmm--Vitro. I think that the middle one is a Vacor--but you never know--more images are needed on this one. Marble--On!!

    The left one is a Pelt MCS. The middle one I would sort as a Vitro. The right hand one is for sure a Vacor, I think an "Orca". I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

  22. Good question Alan. Take a very fine pin and heat it up---- poke the marble and see what happens. Marble--On!!
