Yes, this is a mainly for newbies thread. Would you like to help them out?

Do you have any marbles that you're reasonably sure came from 1970 or later to share?

Couldn't be much more sure of date of manufacture than with Paula's jar of cat's eyes in Post #11 here, Anacortes Horseshoe Cat's Eye.

An Imperial brand mesh bag with a copyright date of 1981. These marbles are often assumed to be from China but the tag says made in Mexico.

Qualatex, made in Mexico, distributed by the Pioneer Balloon Company, Wichita, Kansas. These are early Vacors. Possibly late 1980's? Galen's bag, from here.
