Yes, Vacor.

That's what's sad to you? What about this: Someone who has a beat up marble and asks the most knowledgeable community what it is. While receiving multiple answers and debate over who made it, the person grabs the first mention of a high end maker and runs to list it at prices 4-500 times higher than what it would be if it was what they claimed in an attempt to scam the same community that's helping him. And the person doesn't even know what it is yet. That didn't stop them from advertising it as such and putting a BIN on it for an immediate sale. Then claim that they are conducting an "experiment" on us when their greed is exposed. We have IDed a lot of marbles for you, a service that you profit from, yet we ask for nothing in return. We do, however, appreciate the info given here not being taken out of context and contorted to rip off the community we are part of.

CAC on 1 through 7 of these posts.

Yessir

Agreed.

Yep, nice size. This seems to be a common color combo for CACs in this size. Not a common marble, just that several bigger CACs have this combo.

Correct

Clockwise spin on some here, just pics at my disposal. The MCR/MCS types do seem to spin counter clockwise more than clockwise but the other pelts seem to be more 50/50.

There are plenty. If you understand how the marbles are made, you can see that the spin can occur either way. Look at all the Pelt ram's heads... they have clockwise AND counter clockwise spin on the same marble even.

Peltiers and any others can spin clockwise or counterclockwise and even both. It's not a useful ID trait.

I think it's a swirl but it's messed up where it spun one way on the rollers and hard to know for sure. Best guess to me is a late Ravenswood.

It is. Price reduced to 5K now.

And it shows up on Ebay for $20,000 as a CAC marble as soon as the possibility is mentioned?

What size is it? Transparent green base guinea cobra? With strandy filaments from one end of the ribbon to the other, bleeding transparent colors? I don't see it.

Vitro Tiger Eye was my first impression but... is it a little bigger than 5/8? I think it's an Akro.

I think it's a cool Master.

I agree.

Not polished, not end of cane. Often one or both pontils were treated a bit by the maker, especially on the nicer and bigger ones. Flame polishing, faceting, etc...

Maybe foreign?

I was thinking twisted up PPP sorta like these but twisted into ram's head or cork. With playwear and hit marks.

Agreed, CAC. They made a lot in this color, almost a coral but not quite.

Very tough. Leaning Alley. Nice and rich color!

I agree, the other three being Alley.

Leaning Alley. These can be tough.

If I was sorting them, the left would go with my Ravenswoods and the right with my Alleys. Solely by pattern.
