  1. I agree with Melissa here. If you search "AliBaba" you may find a name for them--or not. I believe that they are Chinese/Asian made. Nice group! Marble--On!!
  2. Do not worry about filling the box with the missing ones. This box is top notch as it stands. Thanks for sharing it. Great find!! Marble--On!!
  3. Not all true here----- There were marbles marketed as marbles called "steelies" that were in fact ball bearings. I get these steelies all of the time in mixed lots that I purchase. They go to the recycle bin post haste😁. @Al Oregon more than likely has a few bags of these to share with us. Marble--On!!
  4. I still agree with Al here. This one is from a box of Imperials--the marbles were made by many different companies from many different countries--non from the USA. I have attempted to turn a Jabo into an Akro Corkscrew a few times--I ended up wrong and educated as well. There are no bad questions here at "TheMarbleConnection" All opinions are appreciated on this one. Marble--On!!
  5. Dancing Cobras? Who cares who made it? This one rocks! Marble--On!!
  6. 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!!
  7. That is a very cool box! I could not load your thumbs on my PC though. Welcome to "TheMarbleConnection" Vermonter! Marble--On!!
  8. 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!!
  9. 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!!
  10. OK then--my bad not yours---Master. Marble--On!!
  11. Nice glow here--no oxblood though. A WVS no doubt. Marble--On!!
  12. Image one shows a huge cutline--Vitro imho--nice marble! Marble--On!!
  13. I would sort this one as a Rainbo--from Peltier. More opinions are needed as always and I look forward to them. Marble--On!!
  14. This one looks like a big "All-Red" to me. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!
  15. Yep, it is weird. I would sort it as a Rainbo but more opinions are needed here. Marble--On!!
  16. 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!!
  17. 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!!
  18. Akro imho. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!
  19. 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!!
  20. Clay is good when metal detecting--it keeps the good stuff up towards the surface. Good luck!
  21. 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!!
  22. Great idea--step up if you are going. Marble--On!!
  23. This a first for me. I do not doubt it one bit-- Nice stuff Dave! Marble--On!!

  25. Peltier Flaming Dragon Antique Toy Marble, #139 | eBay Too much but very cool!! Marble--On!
