manddrakes Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I found this with Australia on the tag. Your thought to a maker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I'd have said made in China if you hadn't mentioned Australia. What did the tag look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Also Looks Chinese to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manddrakes Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I think it was made in china as well. The label had for sale in Australia sticker over the upc scanner. Most I have seen like this are more on the outer edge and or surface. Not so much within the center? I would like to see some other examples if at all possible.

Al Oregon Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 Do you have a picture of the label/header that was on the bag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manddrakes Posted August 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 No, I didn't save the tag. Broke them open about a year ago. There was 10 in the bag and the size range from 15/16 to 1 inch in size. Another collector thought maybe Mexico? Here's another example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted August 8, 2013 Report Share Posted August 8, 2013 The Atmospheres were done by Vacor in a similar size but they were packaged 3 to a nylon net bag with header. I also don't recall seeing any spiral types in the Atmospheres. I would lean to China also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manddrakes Posted August 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 I do have a picture of them in the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 9, 2013 Report Share Posted August 9, 2013 Those would be fun to have as a non-marble collector. Just plain pretty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted August 10, 2013 Report Share Posted August 10, 2013 Hey great that you had a picture! But, not the top of the header.... Oh well, let's do some detective work - not many clues but here is a Sharpshooter bag from Australia. The bag and style of header (including base paper color) look similar. The ones that I have and have seen are with Vacors in them and all (8) look the style and header. Here's a picture of front and back of one. All have the bar code and 'Made in Mexico' on the back side of tgh header. Too bad we can't see if there is anything on that back side that is showing. However, Sharpshooter may have also bought marbles from China and packaged them this way but I have never seen such a package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
