Ima_ddicted Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 The 7/8" shooter marbles in this Vitro bag have squiggly red/orange and yellow ribbons and remind me of those Mega/Vacor marbles that are called Spaghetti? Or Streamers?I am going to open the bag so I can look at these marbles better 'cause they have a black/brown/dark purple banana shaped core that is very odd yet very exciting.(Yes - my dreary life has sunk to this level ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ima_ddicted Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Can someone twist my arm a bit? I'm kinda hesitating on opening. The old bag is in such good shape considering the age. (no - I'm not looking in a full length mirror when I say that) Hahaha!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 It really is in good shape. Maybe someone else might know the marbles and be able to show us without the bag being opened? Oooops ... I'm not doing that right! Open! Open! Open! (But it really is in nice shape.) (There I go again.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nantucketdink Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Go ahead and open it. Its really not that old and there are several hybrids in there worth admiring up close and personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ima_ddicted Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Yeppers! Gonna open it today! Right after I finish up the turkey carcass soup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ann Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 I think Josh said it wasn't that old because the bag doesn't have a seam running down the middle of the back of the bag, like the older bags do -- I'd probably open it too!

Al Oregon Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Neat bag. The Gladding Vitro bags were between 1969 and 1982 when G-V was in business. The shooter hybrid cage style cat's-eyes are probably worth more than the bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ima_ddicted Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Just want to add that not all of the old bags had a back seam. I have hundreds of vintage cat's eye bags - foreign and domestic - and not all have a seam (for what it's worth).This particular bag is a very heavy plastic (but I have a very sharp pair of scissors! ) .

ann Posted November 30, 2015 Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Neat bag. The Gladding Vitro bags were between 1969 and 1982 . . . That's what I meant. Nothing made after1969 is "old" to me! That's the year I should have initially graduated from college, if I had not just wandered off somewhere . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ima_ddicted Posted November 30, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2015 Hahaha! I hear 'ya! I was laying in a labor room on a maternity ward somewhere rolling out a hot little plump screamin' one-of-a-kind!

Ima_ddicted Posted December 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2015 Yes - it sure is Al BTW - I opened the bag and was pleased to see that the crazy marbles have charcoal gray mixed with cobalt blue ribbons in a banana type shape.
