  1. Agreed - Alan was one of the first ones to sell them. I think Pete has them on his site.
  2. If you think finding Whities in the wild is hard, try finding Vitro Whitie bags. I have a couple bags of shooters but only one partial bag of the regular size Whities. If anyone has one, I'm interested.
  3. Here's a "peawee" post from '07 that's a companion to Steph's post.
  4. Just for comparison, here is a picture of the Akro game marbles that are No. 2 size (3/4) in the Chinese Checkers Box. Definitely not your colors. Yours look to be the correct pastel hue. I'll also post one picture of Pete's/Galen's CA pastels box so you have that comparison.
  5. In 1998 when I first started, I found a lot of CAC Bloodies but found out they were some of the Jabo Classics.
  6. If anyone collects bags (and some boxes), I'm back to selling some duplicates on eBay (after 10 years of not selling). My eBay ID - arasmus Thanks.
  7. If I were sorting slags or striped transparents/opaques (or any similar type of marbles that could be by 2-3 (or more) different makers, I would be doing the one-seam, two-seam idea of yours. As Steph mentioned, others are usually sorted out by company and style - Pelts, Akro corks and other obvious styles. Patches, to me, is a whole other ballgame in ID'ing. I've given up on those but, after studying the various tips, etc. on the marble boards, you should be able to sort those by specific patterns.
  8. I'll stray to the "bag" side of the aisle with these "E" companies advertising bags.
  9. CAC or Superman Alley or Superman Peltier???
  10. Since someone posted Coca Cola logo types, ehre is a bag that I have. I wrote to the plant in Piqua, OH some years back to see if anyone remembered these -no response.
  11. Steph - I think it is the large botched ones that I don't view as Galaxies. Here's a pic from David Chamberlain's box (from Vacor) plus a couple other bag pics from Qualatex and early Mega. None seem to have the large blotch types.
  12. Not sure about Galaxies but it does look like older Vacors (80's to early 90's) - here's pic someone posted years ago. Is yours opaque?
  13. Thanks for the info. I don't plan on collecting more of those. By the way, if you did not know this, Jabo used to produce licensed logo marbles in packages (samples below) but they could not sell the volume required under the licenses so stopped after a while. I think they are pretty collectible.
  14. Definitely Vitro hybrid cat's-eye - nice one.
  15. That was Mr. Carl Fisher's first attempt at the clay marble making....LOL!
  16. Back in 2004 I picked up a couple packages (since I collect marble packaging) but did not pursue any more. Here's pics of front on two and back of one (shows others they had packaged).
  17. Moonsnake is a better name. Steph, I'm not sure ifthese fit into the moss agate category but they may. Here's a couple pics. They all have that "moonie glass" base.
  18. The corks in translucent base glass, I have sometimes called them Moonie Corkscrews (it's the name game,,,)
