All Vitro agreed. Could all be Tiger Eyes - some with a little bit odd pattern.

Very nice!

Contemporary by marble maker.

Nice - thanks for letting us know.

Vacor's only transparent base marble with frit is the Stelaris, later called Stardust. Clear with a single color frit - Red, Yellow, Blue or Green (the frit - not the base color). There may have been older Vacor with a transparent base that had frit - before they started packaging them - but the above two are only ones I know that were packaged.

Very nice one

Yes, last pics show slag.

I would not consider the left to be a slag. It lloks like a red transparent swirl. Right could be a newer Vacor Rooster.

People have to post the show information - not automatically done. Moderators are to delete the old ones but...?

LOL!

Good info - thanks.

I am sorry to hear that. Mike did a great job with the Jabo Classic type boxes with different style marbles complementing each other in the boxes. I can't remember if I met him at a WVMCC Show but I dealt with him over the years with the boxes. Prayers to his family and friends.

Blowhole or blowout are other terms that I have heard for the pops.

Scott - I'm sure you have checked but maybe Craig Snider has some information.

Great find.

I think it was just for advertising purposes. I have never seen a bag with marbles even close to that.

Imperial has a lot of cool packaging. Nice ones Josh & Dindo. Here's another from my collection. Also, had done some checking on packages that I have some years back. Seems that 1981 and prior was Mexico only. I do not recall seeing Vitro in Imperial pckaging but...? In 1981, here is a Mexico tag and Taiwan tag. 1985 has both Mexico and China mentioned. 1989 - China, India, Taiwan, Hong Kong. And another 1989 with Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong. 1997 - India, Korea, China, Philippines, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Do note that some of the tags say "Marbles made in xxx" and "Packaged in YYY". So, I agree with Paula on all Imperial packaging since early to mid 1980s forward should be Asian.

I kinda agree with Steph on being earlier. By the way, I have never seen the Baby Marbles box before - nice one. I'd like to find one for my collection.

And this style is seen in some of the Rainbow bags.

Shows up in Imperial packaging.

Unusual. I am not getting a cat's-eye type vibe on either so it's in the generic transparent swirl variety to me - nice ones though.

It looks like some of the furnace brick inside the marble.

Some of my swirls with red and blue.

Similar answer to prior two groups. Lower right appears to be two-color wirepull type and other two close to it may be also - little nicer type marbles - maybe worth a few bucks each. By the way, smaller groups of 5 or so with 2-3 different views of each marble would be easier for us to try and identify.

Some are hard to see the patterns but don't see any handmade types right off. Several transparent swirl types.
