Metaalic shine marbles

They are certainly newer but they could be Chinese or something else. No American company that I know of made marbles like these. And I can't imagine how you would figure out if it was Vacor or someone else.

It seems to me that Ron, our treasured marble collecting friend---RIP, described seeing this process with either Vitro or Jabo marbles as they were being made.

It involved a spray process once the marbles hit the rollers.

I agree--hard to tell the difference between the ones that were made by a variety of companies.

Marble--On!!

That's right, Art. Both JABO and Vitro (at Parkersburg). But this was to give the marbles a bit of metallic, or iridescent, sheen over their otherwise typical color/structure. As far as I know, neither JABO or Vitro made marbles that look anything like those in the OP.
