wvrons Posted September 5, 2021 Report Share Posted September 5, 2021 All modern and most or all foreign to the US. Most were from Asia and packaged by Imperial toy. The vast majority of any with the iridescent shine will be modern most foreign. A few modern iridescent marbles were made by Jabo. Not many vintage iridescent marbles, a few by Vitro late 1980's and very few by Peltier. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Oregon Posted September 6, 2021 Report Share Posted September 6, 2021 The black with two color stripes/patches are probably by Vacor (Mega) called Black Panther. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my best explanation. Any solid-colored marble that is found with iridescent qualities is more than likely made for the handmade crafts that are often sold at Flea markets or household sales regardless of the color involved and you will find them at the usual craft places. The iridescent qualities of these marbles is a worldwide thing and is sprayed on during the initial cooling while they are going down the rollers to be rounded. @Alan more than likely has a more involved description of this process and I will defer to him for a better explanation. Thanks for asking and of course--- Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you see that iridescent sheen/reflection - think "modern". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
