Surprise--- Surprise, These types were the very first purchase of marbles that I ever made, after buying my first marble book. Years ago and lessons ago for sure (I thought that they may be CAC Guineas’--lol). Soooo--- the first marbles that I ever put money down on were Vacors. I am guessing late 80’s, when times were tuff and money was short. They were in a dusty old barn building and they were covered in detritus. I did not pay much but the education started with these. It took me quite awhile to find out anything about Vacor Marbles, so here we are, in a new age. Marble—On!!

Thanks and welcome back for sure. Marble--On!!

I am pretty sure that the last one is a Jabo--not a contract marble--one from production. The other two need more opinions. Marble--On!!

Here are a pair of BG Guineas. Marble--On!!

Funny thing--this was my nickname as a kid🙃.

Thanks back--for sharing yours--nice box! Marble--On!!

I just checked out the website and I am wondering?? https://www.briangrahamglass.com/marbles/ Marble--On!!

All that I can say is---Ouch!! Marble--On!!

The hit marks on this one are not consistant with a Jabo imho. Are you sure that it does not fit in with a Pelt made marble? Marble--On!!

X3 with Melissa and Chad. That is a nice looking Jabo from the production runs imho--not a contract marble. Marble--On!!

The first one is a Pelt imho--"Red Zebra" More opinions are needed and welcomed here. The second one---is some make of WVS imho. Many more opinions are needed here. Marble--On!!

Welcome Sortitallout, The size narrows it down to either an Alley agate, a Vacor or a Jabo--Akro made some big ones--just not here imho. The construction reminds me of Jabo---a weird one but imho a Jabo “Classic” . Nice find! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marb;e—On!!

I have still not had the balls to restore this one. It may be better off just left alone. I am getting the urge to just leave it and be happy with it--a rare thing deserves it. Marble—On!!

X2--nice marble!! Marble--On!!

Join the club atombaum--been there done that! By the way--Welcome to the Marble Connection! Marbles are the ultimate in my world--hard and easy-- or easy and hard. Reasearchers we all are and will continue to be. We all share here--show us what you have! Three or four at a time. Marble--On!!

I would like to see it as well--It may trump your entire collection, as nice as it is. Marble--On!!

We were all glad to come across this site at one point in time or another. Welcome-- and show us what you have! Marble--On!!

I agree--Nice call Peltier Mibber! Marble--On!

I agree---- all are Pelts and Chad knows his Pelt names. Marble--On!!

NTS or--not too shabby! Marble--On!!

X2 nice marble! I wish that I knew where these came from--I was sleeping then. Marble--On!!

The "Fish eye effect" is only seen during backlighting. It is not the little slits that the marble shows. When you backlight a "Moonie or a "Flintie", it will show you what you are looking for-- a "Fisheye". Just roll it around under the backlight and it will show its eye--unreal--really unreal. Jus PM me for one and I will send it--these are under appreciated marbles and over ID'd imho. Marble--On!!

Yes.

I am just saying that this may be out of order and a way to circumvent the rules here. If I were you, and any one else that is considering this, whoever you may be—regard the rules of TheMarbleConnection and be wary of them. The rules apply to all regardless of the circumstances. This just seems like a bad way to try to go beyond our seller rules. I am not real happy to see it. This is just my humble opinion and it is designed to protect all of us, just as the rules state. Just be safe! Marble—On!!
