Consider this my marble collecting friends. A Vacor Atmosphere crossed with another Vacor Atmosphere. I may be mental hereš¤Ŗbut it does line up in my world at least. This is a very cool marble!! I do look and consider all of what is posted here at the Marble Connection. This one is not all that old--but very cool imho.. Marble--On!!
-
I looked a long hard time at this one and I put it through my image software. I have never seen one like it before. The size is the thing here--it does remind me of some marbles that were made in Europe, but it is pretty small. Lets call in @Mojo for an opinion. It is a pretty cool marble imho. MarbleāOn!!
-
Nice images for sure. They are both MK--the blue on the left one is very nice and deep. The white on both of these is--just--well Killer. I am not a name guy and I appreciate any and all considerations here. Marble--On!!
-
Ohhh-this is a nice one! I think that it it is an Alley Agate. Lets call in @cheese for an opinion here. Cheese has a book coming out in the next few months (with help) regarding WVS and he will always be my go to regarding these nice weird finds. Marble--On!!

cool marble matt finish. please help id.. thanks in advance
akroorka replied to DHUNNIE 27's topic in Marble I.D.'s
There are a few companies that made these "Matt" finished marbles. Vacor is known for these. Never waste a marble and most of the Vacor were given this finish because the intitial marble was out of sorts. They tumbled them and sold them as such. This one is not a Vacor. I would consider this one as a "Beach Marble" and it may be from the Great Lakes region. It is a WVS that took some sand "polishing". There are folks that Collect these. Nice find imho! Marble--On!! -
They are Vitro-swamp lot??? I would love to hear the history here---pretty cool imho. Marble--On!!
-
These are a hard find, the ones that have great coverage. These "frit" Marbles took some effort to make and if you find some good ones it is worth the effort. @Alan may have some more info on this type. Marble--On!!
-
I would jump on this one for sure schmoozer. Marble-On!!
-
That Pink one is very hard to find--Love it. Marble--On!!
-
There is a "Muddy" The far left one. You have some nice images here. The green and white one kinda in the middle right is a very nice example of a Pelt something. "Pink Panther" is a new term for me at least. Point this one out Tommy and lets get it on. Marble--On!!
-
I would get back in contact with the seller. Someone found a "Navarre" dig site imho. Nice finds-go after it like a Golden Lab chases birds for more info( just do not get wet). Of course, share what you find here--these are special. Marble--On!!

Welcome to the club on this one Cheese. It is cool , it is old, but who made it is still up for grabs. Marble--On!!

Someone Posted to eBay.. is this a Superman tho?
akroorka replied to KateSo's topic in Marble I.D.'s
I do not blame the seller--this is a tuff one. I would have to see it in hand to make a call here. Vacor Serpents VS Peltier. This is a close call. I would be a weak Pelt and a strong Vacor. I would stay away at this price. Marble--On!! -
I just wonder about this one. Is there any history that you can share with us? If @Melissa looks very hard she may agree with me. The size is right the colors are right. Lets see some more input here. A mystery marble that may be a one of one. Vacor--but what name? Marble--On!!
-
It is a Rainbo---with a stripe of metallic stuff. Not too special but a good find--I can tell that you are looking very closeley. Nice job-- great images--- Marble--On!!
-
The bright green stripe throws me off a bit as far as Akro is concerned. I would shy away from MK with this one. Have you considered Peltier or Master? More images are needed here imho. Marble--On!!
-
If steelies were included well--sniff the net. This is an odd one. If you can sniff it and it smells like onion--well you know were I am going with this (maybe potato). Nets never came this big in my experience. Maybe 100 marbles in a net but that would be a stretch imho. Steelies were never sold in this form --- a mix--except for yours. Nice find--nice images. Marble--On!!
-
I wonder what No 50 means and I wonder how many I have seen and tossed aside as Jabo? Marble--On!!
-
Sorry, I missed the mesh bag. Do you have any unopened images? Marble--On!!

Am I a Vitro Tri-lite? Consensus is No . . it's foreign
akroorka replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
āImperial Marbles āis a name that comes from a west coast company that imported marbles from a variety of Asian and Mexican marble makers. Imperial never made marbles, they just imported them and repackaged them for sale in the USA. This is why you will find many variants of this type. Look up Imperial Marbles on E-bay and look at the fine print. They lay it out there from package to package. Some packages may include ten or more countries involved. It is surprising that so many look alike, taking this into consideration. The ones that you show are considered by collecors to be "Imperials"--Just a general term forced on to collectors by a west coast marble jobber who sold and packaged what they could cheap. Marble--On!! -
That bright, almost obnoxious yellow on a patch will almost aways be considered as an asian made marble by most of the older collectors. The loose cutlines with no form or function also add up. These are not new, they have been around for some time and they are commonly mistaken for Akro or Master. Research "Japanese pincher marbles" for a start. Nice Master by the way! Marble--On!!

@Nantucketdink is thinking what I am-I think---- I hope. a Jabo Classic. I have seen plenty of these, too many to call it a Heaton. Marble--On!!
-
Alley Agate sounds right to me. Marble--On!!
-
WVS imho. Nice marble--pretty common imho. Marble--On!!
-
Nice images once again. I would sort it as a Vitro--no names from me. The way that the blue shows up as a veneer over white points me in this direction. Marble--On!!
