Steph Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Here's an assortment including some with what looks like oxblood and some with aventurine: Ooops, these wouldn't all be called patches, would they. Well, I don't mind non-patches if you don't mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Thanks Steph,no not real patches,well i don't know if mine are real patches. Like to start with the "Japanese"patches. I know they're older than 58 years cause they were among the family marbles. As you can see in the box they've made opaque and transparant base ones. Look at the form of the seams of this picture,they've similarities,in the middle opaque and 2 transparant. Here are some more transparants And here opaques Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 What a wonderful box! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Here's an itty bitty picture of a box, and a pic of its label. Got the pictures from a Marblealan auction. Don't know who got the box. Here is what the auction description said: This lot, A MARBLE CONSIGNMENT, consists of a 100-count marble box (ca. 1930s) with approximate dimensions of 5-3/16" by 5-3/16" by 17/32". The only marking on it is a small side label reading "100 Bolitas/No. 00/Asst. B/Industria/Japonesa," indicating manufacture in Japan and sale in South America, probably Argentina. The marbles all measure about 1/2" (13 mm) and represent eight different color combinations of "Patches" arranged in 10 columns .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Here's a Reg'lar Fellers puzzle box which said "Made in Japan", though some suggested it was only the box and not the marbles which were made there. The seller said these marbles were 11/16". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 While in the neighborhood, here's one orbboy posted which looks like one in the Reg'lar Fellers set. He said a sliver under 3/4". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted August 21, 2013 Report Share Posted August 21, 2013 Great boxes Steph,it's a pity the pic- of the first box is so little.Maybe some onhas a bigger picture,sure like to see it. Here are some more "Japanes"ones. And maybe this one belongs in the Fellers box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Looks like Japanese marbles in those puzzle boxes to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Me also think they're Japanese. I've tried to enlarge Stephs first box,they look the same as my first box. Here are the Japanese pinchers,how do we know so sure they have been made in Japan?? Pictures not mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 This is another Asian type,don't know where they've been made,Japan-India-China?? Don't kow if they're real patches,patch and ribbon style? Some are real nice with neat seams,but most of them are sloppy made. This are some nicer ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Some bags of mine - first group are Wales bags from Japan - two different header types Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Out of the little over 200 different "Japan" bags that I have, 95% are cat's-eye bags. But there are some of the different patch or odd 'bands' on some marbles. Here are a few 'other than cat's-eye' Japan bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winnie Posted August 22, 2013 Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Great bags Al,i wonder how many of the marbles in those bags i have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2013 Cool enlargement there, Winnie. Much more satisfying to see the large view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacyw Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Great thread Steph! I've had this bright blue one for a while and always wondered what the heck it was. While trying to find it in order to take a pic I found one, and maybe two more - although I could still go Master Sunburst on the third one. What do you think?

Steph Posted August 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 Yeah, that could be Asian, Asian, Master. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winnie Posted August 23, 2013 Report Share Posted August 23, 2013 The fore going marbles i could place a little bit,but here i get lost,maybe you folks too. When i start to collect marbles this patches confused me the most and some of them still do,some of them have a Vitro look. only thing i can say they're all probable Asian and colorful. Good to hear Stacy,hope to solve a few more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
