The 3-way crossthru cat's-eyes could be worth a few dollars.

A new un-named model out of Mega Marbles / Vacor Asst Net Bags?
Al Oregon replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Now we know the origins...... (but not the name). Thanks for showing the back. I have not bought Party Assortments recently because they don't have any marble names on the packaging. But, they do have cool marbles and it gives someone a lot of research and guesswork to do on the marbles and their names.... -
Not related to ID'ing the marble in this post but game marbles do have patterns, etc., like akroorka said. Here is a picture of some game marbles from a Vitro Chinese Checker Box.

I assume the reverse side of the header has Glasfirma for the maker. These Traditional Headers are the same as the Top Notch Traditional bags where they had the Top Notch logo where the 5c shows on the front and Top Notch name was also on the reverse with Glasfirma name and address. No idea on the name for the blue marbles, however. -
I like those oxblood Akro dishes, etc.

For info, these are a couple other sources for Betty Boop marbles, although yours is not one of these.

Agree with Vitro hybrid horseshoe cat's-eye.
-
Yes, they all look like the "Pepsi" marble by Vitro except for the right 2 in the .58 pic - not sure on those two.

Yup - pretty

"Real" bags are not my wheelhouse. I have not seen a cloth bag like that one, even though the logo is similar to real Akro logos.

Messed up Vitro

Vitro Horseshoe style cat's-eye - very pretty one!
-
And they do have some odd patterns in addition to the banana. Here is a picture of an opened bag of mine.

Good choice!

2nd is foreign cat's-eye - probably Asian. First one is odd, but pretty - like Vitro with missing vane...?

Foreign cat's-eyes - possible Japanese (or maybe Taiwanese).
