Butterscotch? Marble--On!!

Contract marbles
akroorka replied to Cato's topic in Marble-Related Documents, News, Etc., Especially Items with Dates
This is a thing my friend. Many marble companies sold the marbles that they made to "Jobber " companies that were in fact “Toy Companies” that repackaged them with their own name. This is an old thing and it still goes on today. Just think of the amount of Vacor marbles that were sold under different names. Mega was not the first by far. Imperial in California was by far the greatest jobber imho. They purchased marbles from about 20 different countries. I could probably list 100 of them over the years back 100 years or so.( I will not do this--too tired) CAC jobbered out marbles and that goes back aways.The clays and even the Chinas were Jobbered- or sold to another name. Marble—On!! -
@Fire1981? @Chad G.? Marble--On!!
-
I included @shiroaiko here. As well as many that have dropped out and came back to marble collecting--@steph? I dropped out for quite awile--I am back for sure-just not as far as I wished I was. @Fire1981 dropped out for awhile he is back in spades. Many such as @Al Oregon want to back off but he keeps coming back with his wisdom. @Chad G. is pushing through pain but he is here for us--always. We are geting thin on the older side of collecting--but many of us are back and committed. @Alan is no spring chicken but he gives us his best for sure. @Nantucketdink is not a youngster either. I have missed many but you get what I mean--it is supper time and I have to go Marble—On!! Bing Videos

Ravenswood of course--but pretty special imho. A cross between a blue and a green "Raven". I just had to say this--lets call in @cheese for an opinion. Marble--On!! -

akroorka replied to DHUNNIE 27's topic in Marble I.D.'s
This is just a basic asian type cateye imho--nothing special here. Marble--On!! -
I am not a name guy but this one is a very nice Peltier Rainbo. Thanks for sharing it.....Maybe @Chad G. has a name for it--I do not for sure. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

That left middle one is just a very nice find---I'll bet that it glows like a Jack-O-Lantern. Marble—On!!

Great Idea Yasuda! Lets get on with it! Marble--On!!
-
I doubt it--the included ox type glass pushes it to a Jabo run type to me--out of round--not too distinct in it's form. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Great images! Marble--On!!
-
Pelt Rainbo imho--lets ask @Chad G. he knows his Rainbos pretty well. Marble--On!!
-
Hmmm--- this one may be one that was crossed over during a run. I would not call it an Aqua Marine but then again I have never seen one with such nice images and lighting. I have no problem calling it a Vitro. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice marble regardless of the ID!! Marble--On!!
-
Pelt x3--nice looker though! Marble--On!!
-
This is more than likely a "Vitro Tiger Eye". I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Duck Marbles from the Seike family

Start a new thread if that is what you intended on doing shiroaiko. Just leave a link here for Fire---and the rest of us as well😁. Marble--On!! -
Two Pelts--very nice ones imho. Marble--On!!

No need Shiroaiko. Marble collectors can get quite passionate. I think that all is well. @davesnothere @Ric? Marble--On!!

Ohh, I have owned many Cats--or they have owned me----. My last cat,“Ragnar” put a fox down like he was a lion. Pretty cool to see it happening—I watched for a while and then I scared the fox off—the fox barked at me like I was the asshole—Ragnar was ready to kick his ass. I love cats—nuff said.

Police Yes--the rest no. I am stil a Led Zepplin head---in my time of dying--great stuff! The Beatles-also. My fave today---- Rock on!! This is for you Dave. Bing Videos Marble--On!!

The written word can always be mistaken. I urge you all to back off here. I do not want to end this discussion, but I will in the name of “TheMarbleConnection”. This is my job and I take it quite seriously. Marble--On!!

Ohhh! What would you call the lower middle one Ric? Marble--On!!

I think that the box is 1954 or so from the Korean War---cigarettes--probably Korean made as well as the marbles. Yep—Korea made marbles—still do. Check out the Imperial marble boxes. You will find it there. Marble—On!!
