Hello, I believe your marble is in fact Vacor Guacamaya , here are a few examples. They seem to generally have : two shades of green in the base , the darker green is translucent. They also seem to have yellow ribbons , paired by either orange, purple or coral ribbons. Those are just my observations , they are not Mega Marbles Dragons , but they were made by Vacor de Mexico and marketed and sold in Mexico . I hope this helps . -Stephen

Happy Alley/WV swirls Wednesday
stephenb replied to PROrtiz212's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Outstanding Alleys !! 🌟 -
Here’s a 5/8” maybe Alley swirl with a unique color combo. Does it belong in any name grouping ? Thank you for any input
-
Wow Judith ! What an awesome bunch !
-
I agree with Steph, the green one could possibly be Vitro or Master. Thankyou for watching the MK video !

Marbles you could be tempted to part with but ....

Those are nice Steph ! Should Copperheads have an off-white base ? I don’t own any. Thanks -
Thanks guys ! Getting in front of the camera is intimidating but exciting , I tried to get all my MK facts right . I’m glad you appreciate it

Thankyou Prortizz !

Here's a pretty thorough Marble King video I just finished up, please check it out and enjoy ! Thank you

The first sets are mostly Marble King Rainbows , the yellow and black ones are called Marble King Bumblebees . There’s plenty of common vintage West Virginia swirls in the middle sets , maybe some oxblood glass in a couple. Some of the Catseyes are Vitro hybrid Catseyes

The ribbons are unusually thick in this example but it would fall under Multi colored swirl. The coke bottle base is standard for them 👍
-
Yes definitely an Akro Onyx Type corkscrew. The second one looks like an Akro Snake that got screwed up with the spinning cup somehow. Very unique

That stop motion photography is very cool 👍

Is someone planning on applying this app to marble identification ? I can’t imagine the database needed to pull this off to produce accurate IDs , especially with swirls. They have Chess programs that can beat any human in a game so I guess anything is possible . This is scary, but thanks for sharing

Woah nice treasures ! They cleaned up well -
If that’s Ox blood glass I would think Akro patch, but I’m not 100% sure . PeltIer is also a good possibility

Thank you Stephanie, yes it’s a custard base in that bee , kind of unique 👍

Here’s a few goodies from Sistersville , the translucent piece with orange and yellow ribbon work was sold to me as a Marble King Sunset, which is a new name to me but the name makes sense.

Outstanding collection !
