Top left--Jabo imho. Top right--This one reminds me of a Vacor "Horse"--it is missing some black. The bottom ones need more input from the WVS folks. Marble--On!!

Top left—probably Akro Top right probably Akro Bottom left Vitro imho Bottom right may be a Master—or an Imperial with a lean towards Master. Nice lookers! I appreciate all opinions and welcome them. Marble—On!!

You may be thinking of any earlier version of these boxes. I have one of these in each size. #300, #250, and #230. There are no inserts in any of them under the cover on the inside. Just plain cardboard. I may have seen one or two like this with a stamp inside but no insert. Hope this helps--I think yours is complete except for the pouch. Marble--On!!

Nice find Gladys! Great price as well! What do you mean by top inside cover? Marble--On!!

I agree--nice marbles. Marble--On!!

This one may be a weak version of the Vacor "Twister". Marble--On!!

Hmmm, I have not experienced this problem. Blame it on the weather--lol. If it happens again get a hold of @Chad G. or @bumblebee Marble--On!

I agree with all of the above. We all try to stretch our marbles into something that they are not. All are guilty here at "The Marble Connection" without a doubt--everyone that has ever posted and that is saying alot-- a whole lot. This is why we post a question. The OP is a very nice marble imho. Keep them coming! Marble--On!!

Sure they can go. Fill a canning jar with clearies and put it in a sunny window first, you may want to keep them or sell them at a rummage sale. I have read of these creating burn marks so be carefull. Marble--On!!

Nice marble. No names from me though. Marble--On!!

There are no dumb questions here. Clearies and solids may find use by a number of crafters. I display a few larger clearies on the window sill. It is hard to seperate company from company with this type. Masters are pretty easy but the rest? You may get a box some day that needs a few, you never know. Marble--On!!

Yes, Vacor does make some very nice cats. You have to pick through them just like the rest of the makers. I still see nets for sale once in awhile on Ebay. Marble--On!!

That does not surprise me. I took my first one to a show to have it ID'd. Then I got the whole story. I have two or three somewhere. As I recall they were around 3/4". If I ever come across them I will post a few images. Marble--On!!

These cats that you posted all deserve separate posts, they may get lost otherwise. This blue one may not be a cat imho Marble--On!

Research Vacor Cats with these. Marble--On!

Vitro x3 for sure--you are getting the Vitro vibe! Marble--On!!

Nice "Whitie"for sure Melissa. Marble--On!!

That is a nice marble for sure Chad but I am talking about 20 years ago--just killer looking Aliens. Thanks for sharing this one. Marble--On!!

This is a WVS--possibly a Champion. It does look like it has some UV reaction to it--nice marble. More opinions are needed when I ID a WVS I appreciate them all. Marble--On!!

The left hand one is a Vitro imho--it deserves a better look, with better lighting. The other two are Pelts--the middle one is a nice Rainbo with possible opal involved. Marble--on!!

I would love to see some of those "Alien Eggs" Who made them? I could never afford one--- Marble--On!!

Ummm-to much UV--not enough marble--- Jabo-imho. Marble--On!!

Good point Ron---- Marble--On!!

MFC imho Marble--On!!

Some Atmospheres are so filled with bubbles that I was fooled into thinking that they were "Lutz" against a gold background until just lately--"live and learn". The following is just my opinion and belief. Vacor “hand-gathered” these Atmosphere marbles and “finished “them on standard sized rollers that they had for production. They may or may not have followed these marbles with a torch as Brian Graham shows when he is using the “Pelt Miller Machine”-at least the bigger ones may have been. At the very least these were at the top of their production quality and quality control. The 25mm may have been made using “hot” rollers and would explain some of the folds and imperfections that are included with the 25mm sizes. The bigger sized marbles are quite nice in my humble experience. I appreciate all opinions and hope for some more. Marble—On!!
