Steph Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 Richard got me wondering about this. Anyone have a good handle on labels from those "not officially vintage" but "getting kinda old now" times? Al, this question might mostly be for you, but of course anybody and everybody is welcome.

jeeperman Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 This was limited in the early 90's Vacor. On the newer side but figured it fit being sought after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Oregon Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 That atmosphere bag is a good one for your category - definitely hard to find. Along the Vacor lines, for marble bags sold in the US, Qualatex was the predecessor company to Mega in marketing Vacors in the US. Their bags are definitely harder to find. What makes people overlook them (from a bag collectors' standpoint) is that their headers look just like the first style of Mega bag headers - basically Mega used Qualatex's style and changed the logo. In the upper leftt portion of the front of the header on these pictures, you will see the Qualatex logo instead of the more common Mega logo. The two types of marbles here - Glitter and Assorted Stelaris are definitely harder to find - 90's time frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Great idea for a thread. Incidentally is the 1970 cut off for 'vintage' arbitrary or was it chosen for a reason? It's quite an early date (and possibly why general sellers list late 70's stock as vintage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I don't know a reason for it. Seems it has to change some time, eh? I first learned 1970 as vintage 10 years ago, and those bags from 1975 are ten years older now. At some point they have to qualify as vintage, right? heh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's worrying when my teenage year's are considered vintage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Plus one to that! I don't yet feel vintage. I like to think I am contemporary in a good vintage suit. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
