I think Jabo or the DAS runs done in the last 10 years or so.

Agree

Common foreign types - usually Japanese - nickel/dime value at most.

In resizing there is usually some kind of feature to keep the horizontal and vertical sizes reduced by the same percentage. That would alleviate the distorted looking pics.

Great find! Maybe an architect "studier" can date the house?

Top one does look like newer Asian made marble - commonly called "Imperial" as they are found in packaging by the Imperial Toy Company (Not made by them, just packaged after they bought them from various Asian sources).

When posting pictures, a couple of different views of the marbles will help. These are both machinemades as opposed to handmades. The one with the red patch, as Steph mentioned, might be Jabo or a little bit older Master or Akro patch - many similar marbles with just he one view.

Agreed

I gotta go with contemporary.

I agree with Steph's comments

Seems that way to me also.

Well, I went through some old pictures and found some posted by JH 9-03 (might be Jeff Hale?). One might have three colors but put it in anyway.

Mega Zebra Bag (2006)

Agreed

I have sent them to Jason and he will convert and upload them. Thank you for taking the time, Jason.

I sent you a message.

Yup, thank you. In the mail tomorrow.

I had gotten these tapes some years ago (probably 10 or more). I looked at a couple and just set them all aside. There are 13 tapes. They all fit in a Medium Priority Flat Rate box so shipping would be the $13 or so that USPS charges. If someone is interested, just pay $14 to cover shipping and you can have them. Here are the following auction numbers that were included - 6, 7, 7A, 8 9, 11, 12, 13 Session 1 (4-22-94), 13 Session 2 (4-22-94), 14 (7-15-94), 15 (9-23-94), 17 Part 1 (3-2-95) and 17 Part 2 (3-3-95). I have shown the dates after the #'s. The first 7 tapes did not have a date but they would be prior to April 22, 1994. Good piece of history. If someone can copy to DVD, that would be even better. No guarantees on the tapes but they have been sitting on a shelf in my office so no weather, dampness or other possible problems. First person to message me that they want them can claim them

Just a quick plug - the last Ravenswood Genuine Old Fashion bag listed on eBay ends this evening (Sat). It has a green/brown Ravenswood swirl in it. Also several multitwist corks and some Marble King packaging up for bids. Marble bags and more on eBay - http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_ipg=50& ... mus&_sop=1

Some of mine when I used to collect flamey marbles.

Had to throw this one in - 63/64 inch - thoughts seem to be that it is Jabo - had not seen one similar before.

I think the patch-ribbon-patch is same as patch-ribbon-ribbon-patch - just too lazy to type the additional ribbon. Obviously there are a lot of variations - patches on one side of the top (or bottom), offsetting ribbons, matching ribbons, etc. Very few rare ones have been seen in packaging. Someone had a MK Rainbows bag with a true Watermelon and a blended Watermelon in it at the WVMCC Show back in 2005 that I saw. Chuck B. had been trying to by it from the guy for years. In all the packaging that I have, no rare ones.

Does not look Vacor to me, either.

That is sad to hear. I met him at a couple shows and enjoyed talking to him about the special runs. Prayers to his family.

One of those fried ones from the 50's when you made them for jewelry...
