Description
This lot contains 12 (12 to 13 mm) Vacor "Iridescent" Metallic (also known as "Steely Torpedoes") toy glass marbles, commonly used for games, crafts or decorations. These marbles have a black opaque base with a metalic iridescent finish. The photos shown are examples of the marbles being sold within this lot. Glass marbles such as these have been made throughout the world since the early 1900's. Nearly every glass marble manufacturer made solid color game marbles as they were relatively easy to make, being just one color. These particular marbles were specifically made by Vacor de Mexico in relatively recent years & are still being made today. They are often distributed by other companies, such as "Mega Marbles", around the world. Modern marbles, such as these, tend to have more uniform color, but may still have variations due to being created in different marble making runs. These come from my personal collection of marbles, which I have acquired from various other marble collectors over the years. Most Vacor game marbles are around 5/8" to 11/16" in diameter or larger, although this may vary somewhat. These Steelie Marbles are smaller than most marbles, closer to 9/16 inch. "Target" marbles of this size were the ones targeted in some marble games where larger "Shooters" were used. I have removed any with noticeable damage from the mix & have washed these thoroughly. Note: With marbles having more weight for their size, shipping tends to be more than average items. I do reimburse shipping overage charges for most orders of more than 2 lots. WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD. Marbles & other small items for sale are not intended for children under 3 years of age. If you have any marble related questions, please feel free to contact me. If you are not completely satisfied with the selection sent, please let me know & I will exchange the lot sent for another lot. I have a variety of other marbles available, both for play, décor or for marble collectors. Please check out my other listings. Hope you enjoy these! Alan D.
