Vacor... Fiesta.... can’t tell if it’s a roll or pontal
akroorka replied to boris64's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I do not blame you for keeping it in your pocket for a week or so. It is a nice one. Vacors will be dug out of your "jug" in the years to come, they made some bad ones but some are just real nice. Marble-On!! -
#2 is a WVS—no maker from me #3 is a very nice Jabo—very nice! I appreciate all opinions and welcome some more on these. Marble—On!!

Either is what you have😁. I like these big ones. Marble--On!!
-
I agree with Step--the last image kinda blew the yellow out on the last one---Pelt PP imho. Marble--On!!

"Fiesta"--yes--nice one--nice coverage. Is this a bigger marble? No Pontil--Vacor trait with the badly rounded seams/folds--especially in the bigger ones. Marble--On!! -
The transparent glass throws me off---yet--it could be? Marble--On!!

These are up for debate but they did show up in the "Later" Akro #230 and #300 boxes. Master Glass did put some of these out after they purchased Akro, supposedly using old Akro stock marbles. Just my humble opinion--as I remember it anyhow. Marble--On!!

Nice Rainbo. Marble--On!!
-
This sure looks like one (St. Marys?) Marble--On!!
-
I would call this one a Vitro '"All Red". Nice one! Marble--On!!

I do not think that is a good way to age them, boxes are the best way to get an idea of age--if they are not backfilled. Alot of colors of Akroware has a glow to it. I just checked they wifes display and it seems that pink and jade green do not have the glow--small sample I know but worth checking on. Marble--On!! -
To tell the truth--this one reminds me of an Akro "Lemon-drop". Not too common--an older collectors name--they usually have some more twist to them. Nice marble--Nice size. Thanks for sharing it. Marble--On!!

If I was collecting the Akroware instead of marbles--I would have a bunch of "amber"--I like it--even more now, thanks to your revelation. Good find! -

Thanks for the offer. The truth is, my wife is not a big fan of amber pieces--I had to look like heck to find this one. It must have come too cheap to pass on😁. Each to their own👌. Marble--On!! -
Nice ones!

That is a nice discovery. The glow, I never would have thought that amber had a glow to it. I had to run and see what the wife’s collection had in it. Here is a cool one. That was an excellent purchase. Marble—On!!

Don't rule out Champion with this one. Marble--On!!

It all depends on the monitor that you are using and the colors that it is showing with this one. I see all of the colors that wormie is describing along with a bit-o-white. I would not call this one a Jabo--WVS imho--no maker from me. I appreciate all opinions and welcome some more. Marble--On!!
-
I have seen those colors in a MK. This one is a little wonky. I suck at names but it worth a bump! Marble--On!!
-
Me too--nice looker! Marble--On!!

Vacor X2.
-
I am not sure about all of the colors of Acme Realors but the black ones are with opal base glass. Nice marble----PPP. Marble--On!!
-
The left one is a Vitro imho. The right one I would blame on MK, not so sure though. Could be a Vitro. Marble--On!!
-
That is a weird green color that I see in Vacor marbles alot. No idea really. Nice find. Marble--On!!
-
X2--nice red in that one. Marble--On!!
