Hard to tell from those pics.

Do you think they might be Jacksons, Ron?

I think Galen may be referring to the fact that there is a marble that is along the same lines as the paperweight. For example, here is picture of bird cage marble and paperweight. Don't know about the Firebush, however.

Sad to hear this - thoughts and prayers to the family.

Neat find - good info. Here's a pic of the 5 shooter bag that I have. No 25 count bag with that header but a couple that I have of 15.

Super Cool Bag Of Vitro Cat's Eyes
Al Oregon replied to Ima_ddicted's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Neat bag. The Gladding Vitro bags were between 1969 and 1982 when G-V was in business. The shooter hybrid cage style cat's-eyes are probably worth more than the bag. -
Don't forget that maybe the figure was marked back in that time frame before it was made into the marble.

Interesting item!

" Cats In The Bag " And The Bag Lady Found 'em!
Al Oregon replied to Ima_ddicted's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Nice to find "old stuff" like that. I periodically go through my closet (every couple years) to see what I have forgotten about. Looking forward to any pics you can take - very hard to see in those Master bags. -
Cool

We Can Keep Calling Them Vacors(Even The New Ones)
Al Oregon replied to lstmmrbls's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Yes, it is the address part of the back that is different. And, not all of the "named" bags have all three different name/address backs. Some are just two and some only the one. It's all just part of their header printing process since they are all the Wichita address - just different company names, abbreviations, etc. Of course, now that they have moved, we will probably see a totally different address so.... It reminds me of the differences in some of the Vitro header where it said "5 Star Brand" instead of "Five Star Brand". A different collectible item. -
We Can Keep Calling Them Vacors(Even The New Ones)
Al Oregon replied to lstmmrbls's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Of course, what company name do we call them? Here are some names on recent bag headers. I find some of these different reverses with the same fronts on the headers so, I think to myself, now I have to collect one of each with the different backs and same fronts? -
27/32-Inch Orangy Ribbons On Clear With Bubbles
Al Oregon replied to marblemover's topic in Marble I.D.'s
This was a picture that Bob Block posted back in 2003 of a group of Nova types that he got from Gino Biffany and are supposedly the entire group type. -
Agreed

Patry posted this picture back in 2006 - calling it a Master Sunburst with oxblood (just the one picture). Patry was very knowledgeable so...

When Did Champion Make/acquire Peewee Clearies?
Al Oregon replied to Steph's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
That is entirely possible - Champion polybag material, Champion headers and Champion marbles - all original except staples. That is one of the reasons that Champion bags rarely sell. I have not see many bags with this header being filled. Many other haves MK's in them and they are obviously filled. It would be nice to know what type of headers that Roger & Claudia got in th purchase. Anybody up for asking them if they have any idea?
