winnie Posted March 7, 2015 Report Share Posted March 7, 2015 I wonder how the early Tinka marbles look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 How is it possible we are just finding out about a 60 year old machine made marble company now? This is really cool news to me. How many other marble factories are still out there hiding in the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 8, 2015 Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 That article says Tinka is "one of the last surviving marble factories in Latin America". For a moment I got my hopes up about how many that might mean. It could only mean Tinka and Vacor though. Anyone with the language skills to ask them? Also, fwiw, I believe there are many factories around the world with marble making machines -- for fiber glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2015 I have seen Argentina, Brazil, China, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Taiwan, Turkey and USA listed on toy machine made marble packaging. And many of those besides the USA had-have multiple companies. Just added Turkey to the list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
