  1. Hey Fire, I think that you have a very well filled Vacor "Streamer" here----regardless of the size. Sorry Bro--no CAC here imho. Stiil, a very nice marble that took up some time and effort. All opinions other than mine are welcomed for sure. Marble--On!!
  2. That is a very cool box! I could not load your thumbs on my PC though. Welcome to "TheMarbleConnection" Vermonter! Marble--On!!
  3. Pretty weird really, Glasfirma is a conglomerate which includes Vacor--last I checked anyhow. So we are getting less for more--like potato chips. They use the same sized bag and put a few less inside. ( I know this because my wife is a chip freak--shes calls them ( God's food). Marble--On!!
  4. I agree with Hmmmm? Different runs and different dates of runs may explain your hard work here. I appreciate your passion and the work/investigation that you have done. I have no doubt that Vacor would make custom sizes for the folks/companies that requested it. I always appreciate comments other than mine and respect them all. Marble--On!!
  5. OK then--my bad not yours---Master. Marble--On!!
  6. Nice glow here--no oxblood though. A WVS no doubt. Marble--On!!
  7. Image one shows a huge cutline--Vitro imho--nice marble! Marble--On!!
  8. I would sort this one as a Rainbo--from Peltier. More opinions are needed as always and I look forward to them. Marble--On!!
  9. This one looks like a big "All-Red" to me. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!
  10. Yep, it is weird. I would sort it as a Rainbo but more opinions are needed here. Marble--On!!
  11. I love the bubble--very cool. If this is not a Vacor "Stingray"--I give up (not really). We do not see a lot of these in the marble collecting world--sad but true. A beautiful marble---nuf said. I want an opinion from @Melissa and @Mojo—just because----. Marble—On!!
  12. I am not laughing really--many folks collect this type and I respect them for sure. That "John Deere" is pretty cool--imho. This is the way--collect what you like and never look back. Marble--On!!
  13. Akro imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!
  14. Even tough you show some great images--these two are a tuff ID. I will stick my neck out and call the first one a Vitro and the second one a Master. Marble--On!!
  15. Clay is good when metal detecting--it keeps the good stuff up towards the surface. Good luck!
  16. Size is important here--as always. I have not seen a "Milky" that glows and that means little in the scope of Akro and what they produced. I wonder if it may be an Alley? @cheese? Marble--On!!
  17. Great idea--step up if you are going. Marble--On!!
  18. This a first for me. I do not doubt it one bit-- Nice stuff Dave! Marble--On!!

    Well maybe 500 pennies--Chad is right on. Thanks for sharing these Eike. Marble--On!!
  20. Peltier Flaming Dragon Antique Toy Marble, #139 | eBay Too much but very cool!! Marble--On!
  21. I met Les once at the Badger Marble Show in Madison WI. It was at the end of the show, most were packing up to leave but he gave me his time for sure. He was in the middle of the room with his "bibs" overalls on. He took over the entire middle of the room with his collection. ( not in a row of tables but right in the middle-like Geno Biffany did---respect!) I purchased two Akro patches from him @$40 a piece. I will show them below. Marble--On!!

    I always though of these beach marbles as ones that were shot from a slingshot/orwhatever and ended up on the beach. These little round orbs are bound to be picked up by the waves and deposited on the beach--the roll quite well. I have never heard of any marble company putting them in a lake or Ocean--rivers --yes. Marble--On!!
  23. LOL a measuring stick😁--I just love this stuff! I am not laughing at you--just me-- years ago, I was in the same place-get a nice cheap plastic calipers. Here is a link--- Amazon.com : plastic calipers measuring tool This one is a swirl probably from a WV maker. More opinions are needed here. Marble--On!!
  24. You are hard at it today--love it. It is a wvs--no maker from me. Marble--On!!
