I'llhavethat1 Posted December 23, 2011 Report Share Posted December 23, 2011 Winnie, this post got me to thinking if the factory/equipment in Netherlands was somehow connected with the Hopf factory in Germany. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted December 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2011 Veiligglas sold their marbles by number with a special shovel. It's possible that different companies packed the marbles, because they exported their marbles to different country's. Here are a few examples with marbles that could be made by Veilgglas. The speculation continues LOL. I don't understand why nothing is known by the chambre of commerce of Amsterdam winnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veiligglas Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 No, Veiligglas was not connected to any company, foreign or domestic, as regards with the marble production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 Is it not possible that there was also a German manufacturer of this type marble. It also seems like a lot of assumption from a bad picture in a newspaper. Just more ??????? for me. Sure would like to see some Dutch packaging or some marbles from the site.

winnie Posted January 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 The marbles in post #24 are from that site. They were found there by digging during the urban renovation. I suppose Germany has made machine made swirls at least before WW11,although i've never seen them packed made in Germany,so i can't be sure. winnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Maybe wirepulls will come to be generalized as the 'West Virginia Swirls' from Europe until more is known (ie: not bad thing). Here's a blue/green/white I thought was pretty cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
