Here are a couple pictures that shows a lot of varieties of oxblood.

The owners / former owners would probably know their competitors over the years and may know which competitors made the "marbles made in Mexico" that were purchased by Imperial and others.

I always liked my Limeade with yellow.

Nice Chinas

Agree

When I visited the Vacor factory in Guadalajara some years ago, their "sorters" sat on stools at a high rectangular table and pulled marbles (same style) out of a 50 gallon drum after they had cooled down for couple days. They threw the damaged ones into another smaller barrel and put the good ones in boxes to send to the other part of the factory that did the packaging into bags. They had 3-4 quonset style buildings, each about football field size where they did their work. They would not let me take pictures inside the factory.

Right on the cusp so...?

I have not heard of an MK Wolverine.

I was hoping for Blue Lace but...?

Yup

Horsehair, not oxblood.

Probable - just a little weird corking pattern

Agree

Thanks for sharing.

I like the Champagne cork.

MK "Gems" package that I have.

Ric - I was thinking the same thing as I scrolled down the pics...

Probable.

Some type of transitional IMO.

Agree
