marblemanvintagemarbles Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 Has that steel grey/blue base on it sorta like kokomo and kinda mimics a vitro style marble but it also reminds me of an imperial marble with the red yellow and blue. Idk what's your thoughts? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 With the yellow stripe on the other side plus the red and blue ribbons, I'd be going with the Imperial" type of foreign marble - probably Asian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets get this straight--"Imperial" did not make marbles---they were/are a jobber out of California--they did sell marbles for sure but they purchased them--repackaged them and sold them. Most are from Asian countries--a whole bunch of them--some may be from Mexico. Check out some Imps on e-bay and check the country of origin on the box. The Imperial name is one that has been used for many years—just not real though—just a re-seller. Marble—On!! 2 hours ago, Al Oregon said: foreign marble - probably Asian. I agree with Al here for sure-- Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Oregon Posted December 3 Report Share Posted December 3 Just for info - Imperial package with the Made in Mexico info (70's time frame) - before they found out they could buy marbles cheaper from Asia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
