keifu Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Aloha! I bought these marbles from a gumball machine in Pasadena, CA, when I was a kid in the late 1950s. I've never seen any like them since. I'm wondering if they might be Vitro "Easter Eggs." Any thoughts would be much appreciated! Cheers!

Steph Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Hi. Yes to Vitro. I've always been fuzzy about the names in this general family. I'm going to move this to the main chat area to maybe get more name experts to look at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stephenb Posted August 25, 2019 Report Share Posted August 25, 2019 I agree on the term “Easter Eggs” the pastel color combos are quite unique Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted September 1, 2019 Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Here's a pic of Easter Eggs from Sissydear - I miss having her around here. . . . and a few more from Jeeperman: I kinda think pink is a requirement but . . .? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keifu Posted September 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2019 Thanks, Ric! These photos are very helpful. The "pink" you mention is bordering on lavender, which two of my three marbles also have. I don't know what to make of the orange-ish stripes on my marbles. Maybe a hybrid of some sort?
