A new un-named model out of Mega Marbles / Vacor Asst Net Bags?
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I did a simple search on E-bay--"Traditional Marbles". Vacor seems to fit quite well here. Marble--On!! -
Vitro sounds right to me. Marble--On!!
-
I would sort this one as a very nice CAC swirl--love the "tongue". Marble--On!!
-
Put the "Blow Hole" aside for now and look at the rest of the glass. This one has "pocket wear" and at least one hit mark that I would not associate with a Jabo Marble. All of this being said--it is a weird marble with several colors invovled. I cannot name it or ID any maker. Nice cool find--good luck on the ID here--I am flabber-gusted. Marble--On!!
-
I think that this one is an "older" MK Rainbow. @Melissa may have more to say here. Marble--On!!
-
I would probably sort this one as an Akro Agate "patch type". Nice find! Marble--On!!
-
At first I tought "Double ingot" marble--I am still not convinced that it is not one. The size is so small--- This one may be a mistake that was dug or recovered after it was disgarded by the factory. Just my opinion and I hope to see some more. Nice marble non the less. Marble--On!
-
I agree with WVS--no maker from me. Nice find! Marble--On!!
-
I have no problem calling this one a Master. The weird thing is the fractures on the brown color. I suggest that the glass in the brown color cooled more quickley than the rest of the glass--or visa versa. Longer down the run of these I am sure that it straightened out. All opinions are appreciated here and welcomed for sure. Marble--On!!

I think so, Nice marble, nice images as well. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!
-
This one is tuff--not Vitro to me--maybe a weird one from over-seas. Nice images! Marble--On!!
-
I am just guessing that this one looks black under natural light. In any case Bogard sounds right to me. @Al Oregon may have a few of these to share. Nice marble! Nice images as well. Marble--On!!

I think that they are all "Prize-names". I hunted these for many years and they seem to hook up with my research. The second one usually has more purple involved but there is still some there. The third one has an Oxblood streak--kind weird for sure but very cool. The first one is just a killer example-luv the colors involved. Prize names were not a "Just" they were some of the finest made by Akro imho. Marble--On!!

Nice biggies here. I do not recall seeing them so well covered--Nice score! Marble--On!!
-
Wow that is a big one-- Imperial is not out of the question imho (a weak one). I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more-- Marble--On!!

Yes to confetti. The only marble company in the USA that tried these was Vitro--as far as I know. They (the vitro) are very rare and need a good length of history to make them real. Confetti marbles are made all over the world and to knock one down to a specific origin would be very difficult for any colletcor. To make these is a simple but labor driven task. The marbles, as they come down the rollers red hot--are sprinkled with glass frit--then rounded. It appears that some of your frit was lost-or did not stick--a first for me. Marble--On!!

Peltier Rainbo, Peltier Rainbo, Jabo "Lawn Chair", Peltier "Muddy" (a Rainbo as well) Marble--On!!

I am getting Vitro vibes here. Marble--On!!

WHISPLERS, as Master can sometimes deceive
akroorka replied to Roberto's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Great stuff Roberto! Thanks for this and-- Marble--On!! -
I have been doing this for many years and doubt is always a fraction of any ID regardless of the marble involved. Your instincts will come into play later than sooner. Once you get a lock on your instincts--you are on your way to a more definite ID. My instincts tell me Peltier—“Rainbo” And I still may be wrong—this is the fun, and I appreciate all opinions. Marble—On!!

It is special--not an All-Red imho-A "Tiger Eye"--made by Vitro. I apprecaite all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

I get that, Welcome my friend. Show us what you have, 3-4 marbles at a time with several angles included. Pick out the ones with multiple colors—the larger the better. We are all here to help you with your ID of your Dads marbles. You keep on rocking with your diagnoses and keep the faith. Post your images in the ID section and expect better results. Marble—On!!

I would love to see @Chad G. opinions here. I think that it has been "buffed" at the very least. Nice marble--Great images--- Marble--On!!
