New site dedicated to promotion of marble shows.
Al Oregon replied to Steph's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Thanks for sharing. I had to message him - a little in humor - told him you may need a lot of "Monies" to buy marbles at the show but the name is Des "Moines" in Des Moines, IA. LOL. -
Thanks for the update Ron. I hope MK can keep on going.

Vacor is the major marble manufacturer out of Mexico. It marketed in the US under the Mega Marbles name. In recent years, the name has changed or been "multiplied" like Fabricas Selectas, FS-USA, Glasfirma, etc. Rooster is one of almost 200 different types they have made over the last almost 30 years.

Did you get my response on FB?
-
The 2nd group of pics remind me of a Vacor Rooster type.

Here are a couple pictures of Chuck B.'s Kokomos. Nothing close up but perhaps will help on varieties.

So sorry to hear. Prayers to his family and friends.

Slag - could be MFC but...?

Great info Ron. Nice to have all in one post.
-
3rd pic, especially, looks like MK.
-
Very interesting.
-
The first picture has machine made marbles that are probably all newer and made by Vacor in Mexico. A few might be from the Far East. All common and nickel, dime values.

Nice find
-
The two bottom are not Veiliglass

Chad used "Rainbow" but, just to clarify, it is "Rainbo". "Rainbow" is MK.
-
I did not catch that they were 4 vane. There is a possibility of Marble King then.
-
Ric - about the "MK" bags that I showed. I think they were from the Berry Pink days but I guess there could be an overlap when Marble King first started. Although, I would not think they used mesh bags when they started. I'll be glad when Gerald Witcher's MK book gets done. I think he has a ton of answers.
-
Ric - all my MK mesh bags have Alleys or Peltier Rainbos in them.

Foreign cat's-eyes. Those 3 color and 3-vane or 6-vane are all foreign - Mexico or Far East. I think Far East on those.
