I don't think there is a name for this Vacor / Mega Marble
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
X2--nice one--no name from me. @Mojo knows his Vacor--lets reach out to him. Marble--On!! -
We will all help you here for sure. Your first image shows a group of Peltier Rainbos. Each group of your marbles deserves a seperate post. Do so and expect better results. Marble--On!!

Your images rae "Grainey" a hard ID for anyone. The first one in the calipers tells me Vacor. Marble--On!!

Could this be a Greiner? Thanks in advance!!

Umm, No--- I think that you have a rare Akro Agate "White Slag" here. These are hard to shoot and they will show up with a greyish tint under many cameras regardless of the lighting involved. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!- 1 reply

Beat up some but it looks to be more than just another marble….

The green is transparent my marble collecting friend. This is a nice big one-over 7/8". Few companies made this size or larger. MFC, CAC and Akro Agate come into my groggy memory ( I may need a reboot--lol). I would call this one an Akro Agate slag. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!! -
Early Vacor for sure. These type were my first ever marble purchase back in the early 90's late 80's. I was sure that they may have been CAC “Guineas”. There was not much info on machine made’s back then. They were in an old chicken coop at a yard sale, covered in dust and well--chicken stuff. This type helped to start my adventure and research into collecting toy glass marbles. Marble--On!

X whatever. Nice find! Marble--On!!

A big old "sunset" imho. Nice find! Marble--On!!

Get back in line my marble collecting friend. Marble--On!!

Nice finds Alta! The last one is just--well--KILLER--nice marbles. Thanks for sharing them here. Marble--On!!

X3-- just a weaker version with different colors of one that you posted earlier today. Marble--On!!

This is probably a Vitro. I have seen Vitro "Caged Cats" with these colors involved. You could call it a cat or a swirl but these bigger ones never acted the same (.90) right? I would not be surprised to find this one in a mix of similar Vitro Cats. Nice find--good ask, Nice images!!! All opinions are appreciated and welcomed. Marble--On!

I see it and it has a scratch behind it. I have a great imagination so bear with me. This one may have a glancing blow from a "Steelie". Or maybe someone bounced it on the basement floor during the winter months. I think that it is a hit mark--e-nuf said from me. Not a big deal--just not mint. Marble--On!!
-
Well, I looked at a bit. I would call it a Peltier Bannana--well used of coarse. Peltier Bannanas have some of the best ever produced crystal clear base glass. Marble--On!!

More than likely, you have a Vitro here. A Catseye. We used to call these "hybrid" or somehing like that but they were made on purpose this way in a multude of colors and combinations. Imho--some of the best cats every made--probably early 60'S. I have not seen one like yours before but that is not too hard to imagine. The colors in these run the whole spectrum and they show some greatt clear glass. A very nice marble to collect--you will never run out of color combos. @Al Oregon has many bags of these I am sure--they seem to have packaged them with the same colors in my experience--or maybe I am thinking of the caged types?? Another great cat to collect. Marble--On!!

Hmmm? No Gentleman owns a Lady imho--just sayin🚫. I know what you meant--just double check your posts please. I would stay away. I do not collect old"Germans" but this may be a newer "German" imho. The bubbles in the white--all new to me-never seen it before. Marble--On!!
-
Five vanes here Alta. Your last image confirms this. It is a nice example--but pretty common, Marble--On!!

OK, this brings back some memories. I agree with Cereal box. Good gracious, could you imagine biting on to this on the way to school--in the morning when you were dead tired? They were more than likely encased in "cellopane"but who knew? Outch for sure! You did your due dillagence and weighed it--good job.I applaud your efforts here. No need for a pin prick--you have this one nailed--what fun it must have been for you! I just love great research--- Marble--On!!

@Melissa has agreed to become a Moderator here @TheMarbleConnection. She is a stand up, well informed collector that will give you her best--always. Please give her the same respect that you give to Step, Chad and I. I absolutely welcome Melissa, and her ID knowledge, along with her wit and wisdom. This is a great thing! Marble--On!!
-
I can see why you called it Mexican--the size. That is a big one for sure. The quality of the glass makes me agree with Melissa X2. I would not venture a guess on the country of origin. Marble--On!!
-
I agree with Vacor, the white in this marble screams Vacor! I cannot name it though. Nice marble--orange is cool in any marble. (nice images) Marble--On!!
-
This one may be a Japenese product. Lets call in @shiroaiko and @YasudaCollector for an opinion here. They both know their stuff for sure. Marble--On!!

I am thinking Imperial here. I see some remnants of an iridescent finish on this one. Imperial was/is? A west coast USA company that imported toys etc from mostly Asian countries—too many to name. Vacor from Mexico was involved as well. As I recall, the iridescent finish was applied while the marbles were on the rollers with some type of “spray” involved—I cannot remember what type of spray was involved. I am not a big fan of this finish but—a Vacor “Wavebreaker” twists my eye quite a bit. Marble—On!!
