  1. I think a little hard-to-find. I've only seen a couple of pictures of one. Don't have one in my collection. Good find.
  2. The Vacors, which those are, also used the term Jumbo for the larger size marbles. I thought that I had a chart that showed the Vacor sizes and names but cannot find it.
  3. Foreign - probably Far East (does not look like Vacor from Mexico with the transparent base glass). Relatively new - last 20+ years.
  4. While the IAMC July Show in Tukwila, WA (near SeaTac) had to cancel due to the State of Washington "closure" orders, Dani, Ernie & Lee still have the Las Vegas Show planned and the show is on Halloween. What a fun time to be in Las Vegas. Marbles, entertainment, friends, etc.
  5. Top row - Left to right - Christensen; probable Alley, Akro Corkscrew and ?
  6. Now that you all mentioned David, that rings a bell. Thanks for confirming it, Galen.
  7. I know Landon Daniel had one made with peewee marbles inside a larger one - thought I had a picture but can't find. I don't remember who made it but Ro Purser does come to mind.
  8. She is supposed to have put them on eBay. If you are on Facebook, search Elizabeth Kempski.
  9. And I'd look at newer MK on the left.
  10. So sorry to hear. Prayers to his family and friends.
  11. I lightened up the pictures and cropped them a little to see if that helps with viewing marbles for ID. The middle is a machine amde swirl - not sure on Ravenswood - pretty weird pattern - maybe European? The right one is older German handmade swirl (late 1800's or so) - not sure of ID as I don't collect those.
  12. I just received my copy - great book - very detailed information on the many varieties of cat's-eyes and information on where they were made - and great pictures also.
  13. Here are pics of a bag that Marlow had put together some years back.
