You go my marble collecting friend!-----good luck and post what you find here @TheMarbleConnection. I for one appreciate your passion. @Ric was just suggesting an easier entry point. WVS are a hard thing to ID--at least for me (and many more). Welcome back anytime and be prepared to take a hit or two on your ID's (not from me though-I just suck at WVS ID) Marble--On!!

Vacor Atmospheres questions to the owner.
akroorka replied to stephenb's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Ohh--by the way. I would love to see some of the older employees (the grunts) giving some answers here. The front office is not always in flux with what the workers at the plant know and what really happened in the factory itself. Experience calls me in here—"just sayin". Yep a hard thing - to do, cross over a Manager or Owner that owns or manages but does not really know what is up down in the trenches. You asked, I gave--this is your thing. I wish you great luck my marble collecting friend. Be Brave @stephenb. Just do not get locked up in a Mexican Prison--oof-dah--very bad juju. Stay home and watch out for predators. Marble—On!! -

I just soak mine in a glass cleaner for a few days in a smaller covered tub or small pail and scrub them a tad. I get some concentrated glass cleaner (cheap) and mix a batch up that lasts quite a while. I have never used an ultrasonic--it may be the way but I am an older Fart😚and my way works quite fine for me. Marble--On!!

Nice images for sure. I know that it took some work. The size is always important in marble ID. I know, you did great image work and were exited to post it. I have been there and done this--many times😁. The details in writing are also important. Marble--On!!
-
Ummm--more images are needed here. Both poles with good cropping and light. A few at a time--sizes are important. At this point--all that I see are Akro imho. Get back with some more info and-- Marble--On!!

This one is a corkscrew--nice find! The damage on it approaches it to being a "Dug Marble". A little toothbrush action will clean it up though. Love it as is--this is just me. Marble--On!!

The one in the middle-greyish/white/brown--Love it! The top right resembles a Veliglass--very cool find imho. The one between them--just a killer marble!( is it oxblood in there?) Thanks for sharing Ric! Marble--On!!

@shiroaiko will help us here--no doubt! Marble--On!! -
Fun stuff @Ric we all want them "In Hand"😁. I am kind of embarrassed that I did not call in CAC to tell the truth. All told—great job by all. These CAC Yellows are not always the same—quite different to tell the truth. I have a good feeling that @cheese called this one right. Nice Marble!! Marble—On!!

There are 2 marbles posted here right Joe2? I would consider the first one--which is the best imho--(I suck @wvs ID) but I would consider Ravenswood here. Nice bright white as a batch glass would be Lets call In @cheese for an opinion. Marble--On!!

My first though was "Nice Vitro" and I will stick with it. @7/8" it looks very "Minty". The cutlines and the colors line up with Vitro imho. This is a varient of some form--The big ones never act like the little cousins. This one is just one great find imho Fire. Lets call in @Melissa for an opinion here. Marble--On!1

Nice box--Mega is getting old. The big yellow one is called a "Bannana Swirl" imho and I agree that it looks like a slag (very nice, these may fool some CAC folks). The big Angelo needs more images but from what I can tell, in what I have found in my archives, they tried to match some of the big ones with the smaller ones. These boxes came with a bunch of different combos--yours is a nice one. I found two of these on Ebay. One is marked differently--but the same thing. Hmm I rechecked my post and one lists China? I love "WaveBreakers" those are Vacor. The links are below.

Nice marble Joe2. That "Robins egg" blue always catches my eye. Marble--On!!
-
Nice colors--is there pink involved? These Akros always keep me smiling--Nice "Popeye" very nice! Marble--On!!

You are not a snob Ric--just sayin😁. When I first started collecting all that I kept were "Mint". I collected glass/ceramics before I started with marbles--mint meant everything back then--still does. I did keep the rest though--until My wife found "of all buckets" in the basement--"The Special Bucket". One quart Ball Jar at a time during a rummage sale. Ouch! We are still Married!. Marble--On!!

A thin filament orange Vacor shooter. The name please?
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
is right. No one is flawless and I think that Moon Marble put an Asian made in with some Vacors. I may be mistaken as well--nothing new here😁. Marble--On!! -
@cheese? Marble--On!!

Well if it did not matter--what are we doing here😁? Just sayin Fire--it is all true though. Marble--On!
