marboman Posted February 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Thanks Guys Would these be the early era Champion say 1950's or more like the 1980's? The red and white ones are Mad Flourescent ! Thanks again for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 I am thinking more like the 70's. Perhaps @wvrons will give an opinion here. Or anyone else that has some more detail on these.

wvrons Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Champion never made anything that large. Those are all Jabos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Champion didn't ever make marbles that big. The only time they made 3/4" or so marbles was the NOFs and the biggest one of those I ever saw was about 7/8" but it was messed up in the pattern because it was oversized.

Melissa Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Is there information somewhere on the size of marbles each company produced? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted February 7, 2023 Report Share Posted February 7, 2023 Machine made 7/8 inch swirls as standard production leaves out MFC, Akro and Marble King. The Vitro 7/8 swirls are mistakes. Peltier Alley Jabo ,Vacor So 7/8 inch swirls are almost always down fast to only four companies . Identifications can be by eliminations. Most of the 7/8 inch Peltier swirls are easy to Id. So that is now down to three companies. Vacor 7/8 usually has orange peel and roll mark, super bright colors. So that is down to Alley and Jabo. Very few 7/8 Alleys will glow. Elimination. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
