When you have clicked on an eBay item and want to copy the link to post it somewhere else (like on this board), you go to the address bar at the top of your page - the www..... "thing" and highlight the entire website address, right click and click copy. Then paste it wherever you want it pasted.

Pics that I had saved. The latter two include marbles that Guy Gregg (RIP) considered as bifurcated even though base glass was same on both sides and ones from Chuck G (2011)

Great variety!

What to take/bring to a Marble Show
Al Oregon replied to Newton's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
It is possible. I bring some of the plastic boxes (and so do a few others) but I won't be at this show. Also, there are usually a few of the wooden "show-off" boxes that people make and sell or are getting rid of theirs. By the way, collectors do use the small 2x2 or 2x3&1/2 plastic bags to keep their marbles in with tags or notes on ID's, etc. -

What to take/bring to a Marble Show
Al Oregon replied to Newton's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
If you have marbles that need to be ID'd, bring them and have them separated in "whatever" so you can make small notes on paper to put with the marble so you don't forget the ID. Memory is funny, especially when the marbles look similar. Same thing for ones that you buy. You can also take pictures of marbles for your future reference and learning. -
Yes, have a marbleous birthday!

The majority have 10 - pic of one of my boxes with instructions, etc. However, they also did a box of 30 - here's one pic of my box.

This picture was posted back in June 2003 by Bob Block as a complete group of the Peltier Nova marble run. He got them from Gino Biffany so that is a good provenace.

how many true colors can you see? I see 5 including white
Al Oregon replied to davesnothere's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I'm a red, blue, yellow & white advocate. The brown is yellow with "covering" of blue and the light blue is just the other blue with white "covering" it to make it lighter. JMHO. -
Transparent swirl type - agree with possible European.

Probably not because it is not a marble manufacturer but they may reference something like I explained above.

Imperial is not a manufacturer. Imperial Toy Company, previously out of the L.A. area, is a packager of marbles. Back in the late 70's & early 80's, they packaged Vacor marbles. Then, they found cheaper marbles in Asia, like the ones you posted, and started buying them. As we don't know manufacturers names from Asia, the collecting community starting calling these marbles, generically, Imperial. Here are a few bags/package pics.

Welcome. We look forward to seeing your collection.

Has any one seen one of these before?
Al Oregon replied to akroorka's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I have not seen one nor do I have any pictures of one. -
It's great that you got to go to a show. Nice marble finds, too!

I'm back to the possible MK ID on these. I could not find good foreign examples of 4 vane crossthru types.
