akroorka Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 I hope that @Al Oregon can give me an idea of the vintage of this bag. I see a lot of Asian marble bags for sale—not so many Japanese. Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Maybe before Pearl Harbor? That's my guess🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Oregon Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 Nothing definitive but I have always thought 60's+ There are a lot of Japan packaged cat's-eyes out there. Here's a couple. Also, many with the 6-vane, 3-color type cat's-eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 @akroorka That's a great bag, Art. You're right, vintage Japanese bags aren't as common as those from Taiwan. I think it may be from 1958-63 or so - I don't know for sure, just a hunch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 I have Elizabeth's book on cats, there are quite a few made in Japan Pictured, close header but not exact, there is however a description of a bag from Japan containing exactly the same amount of marbles and the same amount of deigns, I agree, Ric is correct late 50;s or 60;s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 14, 2023 Report Share Posted December 14, 2023 The cat logo on these Penny King's bags looks very similar to the one on your bag, and they are Japanese too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Ric. Mine seem to be less refined. Marble-On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
