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!

Yup, MCS.

Neat!

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.

Here is one bag pic.

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.

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.

Agree with furnace.

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.

Couple of my bags

For info

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!

Agree

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

Left and right remind me of foreign made marbles - Mexico or Japan. Middle one?

Cool looking marbles!!

Welcome back to the Board.
