Are marbles still being made?

There are currently two U.S. manufacturers of machine made playing marbles still operating. They are JABO-Vitro of Reno OH and Marble King of Paden City WV.

The largest maker of machine made marbles in the world is Vacor de Mexico, which has an office in Kansas City MO. It is said to produce over 90% of the world's marbles .

Catseyes are still being produced by several plants in the Far East. I do not have the names of any of the plants.

On the handmade side, there are currently over 100 craftsmen in the U.S. producing marbles utilizing the cane or rod method of glass making. In addition, there are numerous lampworkers who are making small marbles, utilizing bead making techniques.
