laero21 Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Are there any of these really old and what makes a confetti old? thank you 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 This is just a guess on my part. Late 50’s to early 60”s. They have taken off in the last 30 or so years. Now, everyone makes them. More opinions are need here and I welcome them all. Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 I would estimate 1980s to present. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 I am aware of some old handmade styles which could be deemed confetti. But almost any confetti you would run across in the wild would be a modern marble. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alta Posted March 24 Report Share Posted March 24 Agree with the modern (post 1980s) verdict 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussie Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 A Vacor Confetti is a single colour cat's eye. The frit marbles have names such as Stelaris, Stardust and Glitter. The Mega Marble list gives a starting year for when each type went into America (could be older than that?) but went on for years and I don't think you can age them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marblesguy Posted Friday at 07:26 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 07:26 PM the marbles in the OP are called Glitter and were made between 2000 and 2004 by Vacor 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes here is the Vacor Confetti - (second set down in first photo) the marbles in question from the OP are named Glitter - by Vacor there are some that were from Japan and distubuted by Toysmith out of Kent Wa here in the USA - they were called "Glitter" but they have multicolored speckles Pictured below 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marblesguy Posted Friday at 09:52 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 09:52 PM there is also the "Destroyer" which was a black based speckled marble made by Vacor style up to the year 2000...these are fairly rare and hard to find.

The Nickel Guy Posted Saturday at 02:21 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 02:21 AM I have seen iridescent clear based 1 color 6 vane Mega Marbles that are also going by the name "Confetti". I have quite a few. They look pretty nice in hand. Better than this image. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie Posted Saturday at 11:35 PM Report Share Posted Saturday at 11:35 PM I would not call the Destroyer "speckled". It has a very rough frit surface. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, specked is more like the Galaxies by Vacor which are smooth surfaced Destroyers and Glitters both have a rough fritted surface 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
