This one is just killer. I wish that I knew who made it. Let’s just call it a hair or two under 1". Yep-- R2-D2, the true hero of the Star Wars saga. I collect Star Wars stuff--especially R2-D2 things. Great graphics and color are included in this one. I was surprised when I received it to tell the truth. Collect what you like—I do. Marble—On!!

The fold really ate this one up--still cool without a doubt. I have seen a few of theses bigger ones with "coke bottle glass" as a base--not many though. Conqueror may be the answer. The big sisters/brothers never act like the little sisters--or brothers--lol. I like it! Marble--On!!

Here is a link with a few that could be what you have--or not. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/27645-vitro-du-lites/ Marble--On!!

I think that you could call it a "Rebel" fire. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

I think that they are WVS of some make or sort. Nice job getting them together like this. Marble--On!!

Nice marbles! Marble--On!!

I would say "Four Color Cork". Nice marble! Marble--On!!

I just had to backlight this one. As you can see there are four separate streams of glass. Weird lashes as well, Very nice! Marble—On!!

@wvron has told us all that they used to repair the rollers and the pits in them with copper. This is a good example imho. No ID from me--just what I seem to remember. Marble--On!!

Many folks over the last 40 years or so jumped to the wrong side---Alley vs CAC---and spent the wrong amount of money. It is all coming into play today I used to sell--just a few. I remember selling Pistachios as CAC--well, that was what they were back then. After I found out that I was wrong—I have no regrets. I did start my research back then on CAC however. I never want to be misrepresented. They were "Killer" flames for sure--out to the West Coast they went and the buyer was just giggling to have them. (The money that I received went to—well--you know it—Akros) After the Alley revolution by the great diggers in WV, I researched Ohio Swirls for many years. I am OK with Ohio Swirls now—The WVS still knock me apart in too many directions. There were many CACs that were found in the rivers and bottom lands of Ohio—Hats off to L.J.! He had the foresight to know what he had and to push them into the fore front, many buckets full at the very least. There are too many to thank in this hobby. I thank you all for what you have all done to contribute. Let’s not forget the ones that are gone! Marble on my Sisters and Brothers in the Great Marble Sky above us all!! Marble—On!!

Good eye Gladys--you read my mind! Marble--On!!

CAC I agree. Nice one! Marble--On!!

I would sort the OP as a Vitro "All Red". Marble--On!!

Well Mojo, It had to come sooner that later--lets do it sooner. You are no doubt "The Lion King"👑. Nice find--very cool. Your wife must be a Saint------------ Marble--On!!

I agree with Steph. The Bennington’s generally have touch marks—or eyes where they were stacked together before the firing process. The glaze on the marbles—where they touched each other in the stacking/fireing process, produced these eyes or round marks. The fancy ones, with multiple colors as opposed to the just blue, brown or other are a harder find imho. The two on the bottom image could have been made either across the Atlantic or right here in the USA---as far as that goes—they all could have been. The top one—the Glazed China—is more than likely from Germany. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

X20--Great work! Marble--On!!

A Peewee Pelt with AV??? Just a killer marble imho. I wonder what you were bidding on? Marble--On!!

I agree. I would like some more opinions though. Never forget that Vacor has been making marbles for a long long time. Many runs and many marbles. (I still think that it a WVS) @cheese @Ric @Chad G. Many more that I am too old to remember today. I appreciate all opinions and always hope for more. Marble--On!!

Vacor Giraffe? I do not think it is a Jabo. Did Alley Agate make a big one like this? It looks like it might react to UV light. Nice marble! Marble-On!!

Lets just get a tad crazier!!

Lets get crazy!

Not too shabby my marble collecting friend. Marble--On!!

Good job Plutonianfire lets just keep it in a more common language, we are not all savants here. I am sure that @cheese will agree. Cheese is great at what he does--Marbles--all of them!! Marble—On!!

That is some serious stuff for a MK Jeff54--Great marble!! Marble--On!!
