steves mibs Posted March 16, 2009 Report Share Posted March 16, 2009 hello i think pressman bought from alley making your bag not quite right as it looks to have vitros in it but it looks kinda neat but the next four have no chance at all at being real my 2 cents steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMopar Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 These aren't mine...found them online. But thank you for the information. I was just curious and bored, so I was looking around the internet and came across these. :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MARBLEMISER Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 The first bag is real. The Pressman Co. purchased marbles from many MFG's, to fill bags & boxes. The rest are fake. Or Newbie bait. Which is sad, since it spoils intrest in marble collecting. No one want's to start collecting something & get ripped off in the process. Thanks for showing them. I think everyone should be reminded once in awhile, that these rip off bags are still out there. marblemiser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 Does the first one have the seam down the middle of the back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMopar Posted March 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I dunno wvrons. As I had said, these are not mine. I just went net-surfing, came across them and curious about them being real or fake. The first one can be found here: http://www.timewarptoys.com/toys.htm :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 I agree that the Pressman bag is real. I have several with Vitros in them. Of the others, the Alox one on the right is the only one that might even be 'close' to real. When Alox closed, someone bought all the leftover headers, polybags and marbles and filled them themselves. It looks like this one was filled with MK Cat's-eyes so it is obviously not an original complete Alox bag but may have a 'real' header and polybag portion.
