Newblue Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 This is 21mm, completely opaque. Mexico or Jabo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 21 mm is .83 inches. At that size, yes, the likely options are Jabo or Mexico for modern, Alley for vintage. With the glossiness, modern does seem likely. But I'm not sure which direction to go from there. Possibly leaning Jabo but really not sure.

Steph Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 There are some Asian marbles surfacing which highly resemble the Mexican. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted October 13, 2021 Report Share Posted October 13, 2021 Here is a link that shows one similar to yours (scroll down to the size display) that is a Vacor. I could not find an example with a name however. The second link has a nice video that shows some marble making in Mexico. Glassfirma must be a partnership that Vacor belongs to. The website shows a map that includes China as a satellite of the firm. This all being said.; the marble that you show is a big one and my first impression was “Vintage USA” but the size limits that to just a few. The yellow has some depth to it that I do not expect to see from a Vacor, could be a Jabo but I lean towards more of a vintage marble. If it was smaller it could be any of many manufacturers. More input needed for sure. http://www.glasfirma.com/toys/vacor-marbles http://www.glasfirma.com/about-glasfirma Marble—On!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Warrior Collection Spartan looks very similar, but the yellow seems too bright. Mine has a bit of an orange hue to it and also the pictures don’t show it well but the yellow has some swirls in there too. But it is close enough that it could be a match. Thank you.
