Steph Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Hello. Welcome to the forum. Those bottom marbles (labeled A) are popular ones. They're called wirepulls. Made by Veiligglas in Amsterdam in the 50's and 60's. The picture labeled B has more common-looking marbles. If those were found here in America, I would say easily American on them. Mostly Marble King, with maybe some Vitro, and maybe a few West Virginia swirls. These companies did export to Europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Schellens Posted January 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 Dear Steph much appreciated, as you are so quick with your reply I guess I include some more pictures ;') This first one is about 42 mm diameter. And I figure it to be something special , btw the swirl in the middle is barely seeable without very strong light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 28, 2019 Report Share Posted January 28, 2019 At that size and with the iridescent finish, that would be a modern marble, likely made in Mexico. Vacor de Mexico is the main producer of marbles greater than 25 mm. It's very pretty. Someone might be willing to pay a few dollars for it. Larger marbles have their own appeal. It's possible that it's still being made though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
