This set of Vitro have a brushed patch on a clear base with some opaque white filament swirling going on under the surface. Would the be considered Victories ?
-
Thanks for sharing these , I'm really trying to get a grip on the Jackson make and model , but it's tricky . I like their swirl action .
-
Yep I believe It's Vacor , after further inspection , I think I'm seeing that orange peel surface .Probably another " escorpio ". Thankypu WVron for your input !

Ha ha haw Steph that is hilarious ! Thanks for the confirmation guys 👍

Trying to show the seam on this photo

Here's a flamboyant 5/8 " I recently bought online . It has a black base with a fairly bold red swirl, pretty busy pattern. Would I be looking at a CAC here ? Thanks for any responses !

This is a good place to file the Mega Marble "escorpio"

Yikes ! -
Yes it's a Vacor Escorpio ! I can just barely see that oily orange-peel surface . Well done Steph ! I guess it was my own heart that got broken on this one ! Cool looking marble though , it almost makes me want to collect more ...hmmm
-
She’s usually right ! The odds are in her favor 👍
-
Thanks for the research ! I'm pretty sure it's a vintage handgathered mib, luckily it's been well preserved , absolutely mint . I'll try to take more accurate photos tomorrow . I trurned up the saturation on one photo and it's a little closer to the real marble , but not enough orange showing yet...
-
You're right , it's not a double ingot ! It's the worst case of cold roll i've ever seen !
-
OK , thanks Steph . I'm going to try to take better photos. I'm not showing the colors right here . The color is so loud, its deafening. That's why I was thinking CAC.

This 5/8 “ Heartbreaker has screaming red/orange on black. The orange coloration isn’t picking up to well on camera. I think I’m looking at a CAC , and it looks like a double ingot. There’s quite a lot of drizzle towards the back . Any thoughts on this one ?
-
Ive been looking through those Stngrays, it really matches up . There were some random Vacor marbles in the lot that I got this marble from at the flea market , so yep I've convinced myself that it's an odd Vacor Stingray . Steph has uncovered the mystery , thankyou Steph !
-
Godown yes yours looks alot like mine . No markings on the “eye” where you pointed out in red . Just that cold crease line like Steph described towards the back of the marble . I’ll look through Jabo examples.

Left-handed , hand gathered slag

No worries Dindo , glad to be learning here on this thread . Do yours have that crease pontil like I showed in my last photo ? This could point to a possible Japan import. according to the Americans Machine Made Marbles book. I’m hoping they don’t ! That looks like West Virginia icing to me 🙂
-
Wow that is some thick icing on some of them !
-
Ahhhh ! Thanks Steph for the reality check 🙂. It’s always a learning experience here for me . What a cool looking marble though, and it’s going to have a special place in the display case. I will file it under “Blue Alien”
-
I would love to see photos of those brown ones , just for prospective and comparison. 👍
-
Yep I have a couple of Alox translucent swirls that are very similar . There’s probably a handful of those WV companies that could easily pump out this marble ... I might be splitting hairs here .
