Looks Alley. You did not mention size - looks big - maybe a Paul Bunyan type?

Sad to read - prayers to his family and friends.

Can't disagree with Josh - that's why my "folder" on computer is "Fantasy/New".

I have never been to the Northeast Show but most marble shows have a day for the actual show where marble collectors have their tables with marbles and marble related items for sale and the show room is open to the actual public so there can be a lot of interesting items show up. Also, in the day or two or three ahead of time, there is "in-room" trading where the marble collectors that are staying at the hotel/motel can open their doors and collectors wander from room to room - buying, selling, learning (the important part). And, yes, you can haggle, cajole, bribe, plead, etc. to put together a marble deal. And, yes, there can be great deals. On the lower value end (say up to $20 a marble), people might have a box full of marbles that they are selling at $3 each (or $1 or 50 cents or $10 each. The only caveat is to bring a light so you can examine the marble to determine their condition. That makes a big difference value-wise. So, yes, go to the show and if they have in-room trading, take the time to go a day early and meet people and buy, sell, learn....

I have similar bags - have them with my newer/fantasy bags. There are some interesting marbles in there but mostly newer (last 30 years)

So sorry to read this. He was a nice man. I remember him ferrying us around through a marble tour when a turkey tried to play "chicken" and lost. Howard wore the feather from the grill on his hat. Condolences to Julia and his family and friends.

Top one is Akro corkscrew where the cork color dips into the marble. Some even "disappear" for part of the cork pattern.

Nice story!

Agree with two Pelt Rainbos on right. Other??

Sorta agree with Chad - middle one does look cork.

On the fence? - what is your other side of the fence ID?

Agree with Vitro

Agree with Jabo, especially on the right one.

I have 4 of the Perfect Circle ones - 2 with various shooters and two with variety like this. I have them in my fantasy/new folder. I also have one of the Tournament Champions bags. Since they have a variety of marbles, mostly, if not all, newer - they are newer bags trying to look older with the one color printing, etc.

Have a marbleous day!

Agree with Akro on the middle one.

Here are a few marble related Japanese items.

I am surprised that Ikea did not have them come in pieces and they would include instructions on how to put them together...LOL

Agree - messed up cork.

Neat bags but, as Steph said, not Imperial. There are a lot of MK and Vitro in many "jobber" or other "business promo" type bags, etc. I have looked at the marbles in my Imperial bags and boxes (a little over 100) and have not seen any Vitro nor Akro (except for the 4-vane types made elsewhere also).

Agree with MK

Good variety.

I could not find any Imperial packages that had any Vitro looking marbles in them. Most, if not all Imperial packaging, has "Packaged in xxx, Marbles from yyyy" (none with "marbles from USA") and similar wording. I looked through my bags pics and did not find any Vitro type marbles. I don't see MK either. There are 4 vane cat's-eyes that are just like MK types but the packaging has Marbles from India or China...
