Marbleneophyte Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Bought a bag of Coca-Cola giveaways at an antique mall. Staples are rusty, the label looked right and the bag is cellophane so I figured they were legit. Now that I see them out of the bag I'm not so sure. Are these 1950's / 60's? Any ides about the maker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted June 16, 2019 Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Not 1950-60's. All newer marbles. A fantasy bag, there are hundreds of different ones out there. I doubt that the bag was cellophane. Original packaged marbles in old cellophane bags are rare. Most of them are stiff and brittle and break like thin glass. Plus Coke never packaged any marbles in a bottle hanger cellophane bag. Most of the Coke bagged marbles are not original. One key for original plastic bagged marbles, is the heat sealed seam down the center on the back side of the bag. If the plastic bag does not have this seam, be cautious. It is easy to make rust on the staples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleneophyte Posted June 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 I was pretty sure after I had the marbles out of the bag that they weren't old. Another thing I just noticed is that the hole in the label / hanger won't even fit over the neck of Coke bottle. I'm still paying for a marble education. Fortunately this wasn't an expensive lesson. Ron, thanks for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
