Another Vienna Vitro?
marblemanvintagemarbles replied to marblemanvintagemarbles's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Thank you so much! It immediately caught my attention upon the start of the sorting. Its certainly an eye catcher. I'm gong to be listing it in my ebay and maybe Facebook if you would like to own it. As well as the other vitros I have found -
Makes me think of a vitro horse shoe at first glancing over it.

Revisiting this "Asian" Marble
marblemanvintagemarbles replied to marblemanvintagemarbles's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Could they possibly be made in Mexico? Everytime i come across this marble in the mix of marbles i it's with the seams are so similar to like vitro or peltier i set it aside with the marbles I think are nice USA marbles as I sort through the bag it's in. Or whatever container It ended up in the u shape is dramatically wide and I feel like I've invested a considerable amount of time into just sorting marbles. Literally i spend most of every day searching through my collection (and it's grown to be a huge pain in a arse due to its size) or driving out to leads on marbles. It's become my priority. I have sorted through thousands of Asian marbles. I've never seen such a dramatically wide shaped u on one until I've found this one. I know it's very hard to decipher between all opinions you receive on a marble as you said a lot of times people will agree with anything or stick to their guns but I've tried my best to plead my case on the marble. We can go ahead and lock this one up and send it to the pokey. It's guilty of foreign affairs. Lol. -
Revisiting this "Asian" Marble
marblemanvintagemarbles replied to marblemanvintagemarbles's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Well I've had more than 1 agree on the kokomo group. This is not an Asian made marble. Show me an Asian made marble with these exact shaped seams. I've not seen one before. I'm definelty not a flat earther. I've actually picked up quite a bit of marble knowledge and I know that this is not an Asian. Possibly foreign but unlikely as someone just gave a definite id opinion and he knows kokomo marbles very well. I agree the colors make your 1st thoughts jump to Asian however they are not the right tint imo. But those seams and the shapes of them are not even close to any Asian marble ive ever seen. That right there eliminates Asian possibilities. They may have those little jagged ✂️ lines but kokomo is known for that to be on a lot of their marbles. -

I posted this one in the kokomo Facebook group and someone agreed they thought it was kokomo -
Revisiting this "Asian" Marble

I have just never seen any Asian marbles with such a seam as the the way these ones are. These have that exact peltier type seam with the jagged little cut marks that kokomo is known to show on their marbles. I have a lot of imperial marbles and they all tend to have the somewhat pointy v shaped seams. Sometimes more u shaped but never as wide as the u is in those 2 mibs -
I've not been able to accept the Asian identification I received on this marble. I just know I've never seen any seams like this on an Asian marble. So I found this post in another forum detailing pictures of kokomo marbles. And I believe i found the marble I have besides the green but i know they did use green.

Boulder MK or Vitro?

That rings a big bell with me. I believe you are correct! Thank you -

Size is around ⅝" having the little crease on the seam is what raises my suspicions on a kokomo identification.
