winnie Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Is there anything known about marbles made in Argentina,companies-manufacturers? http://www.ebay.com/itm/MARBLE-Argentina-vintage-classic-toy-1950-hand-made-8-/120863275352?pt=Marbles&hash=item1c24033958 Some of these marble types I've found here in Holland aswell. winnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mintster Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hmm.. I have no idea, but I have a friend from Argentina that I can ask. He may have no clue as he doesn't collect marbles, but he has family there that may remember since they are saying they were made in the 50's. I'm kind of curious now.

ziggyzora Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 A pic from the internet (not mine) found a few years back, hope it is ok to post. Thought it would be interesting for comparison to marbles I find. 'Argentine Bolitas' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBlock Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I have a small gift box that I bought several years ago, that was sold by a Buenos Aires toy shop. It contains Vitros. I have that one pictured in the upcoming 5th edition of the Price Guide. I also have a polybag made by a Brazilian company, but that also contains Vitros (Tigereyes).

winnie Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I saved this from the internet in connection with marbles from Argentina,I know it's not much. This one was sold in South America but are Japanese marbles I'm really wondering if Argentina ever made marbles. winnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marbleus1 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 No time for pics right now. Winnie the topic opener and yours are copys of some I have, probably 100 or more - 5 or 6 differant lots all out of Argentina. No idea on manufacturer but they match nothing else I've found. I think Argentina. David will get some pics when I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
