buypast Posted Tuesday at 05:51 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 05:51 PM I assume these 16mm opaque white marbles are Vacor. Two have only blue frit and the other has only green frit. Do they have a name? Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Oregon Posted Tuesday at 08:49 PM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 08:49 PM I'd go with the older Glitter. Here's a pic of one of my bags. By the way, it is a Qualatex bag which was the predecessor to Mega in Wichita - early to mid 1990's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frit marbles are made yet today--by many marble companies throughout the world. The first ones were made by folks actually standing next to the rollers and throwing/tossing/spreading glass bits--or frit on the hot, out of the oven marble on the rollers. I am sure that this has been refined a bit--at least I hope that it is. They are a very hard marble to ID unless you are like Al, with some original packaging. The most desirable are the ones that Vitro tried--they are rare and without proper history or providence--I would never bid on one. I like them--but they all look quite the same to me. Marble--On!!
