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!

Umpff is all that I have to say. Marble--On!!
-
I agree Va! Marble--On!!

Absolutely worthless in Ohio—or Wisconsin for that matter😁. I always pull for Michigan vs Ohio State👍. Marble--On!!

This is pretty weird. I have never put clays under UV light for whatever reason. I will start today. Great tip here and I do not have any explaination for it. Nice job! Marble--On!!
-
I would sort it as an Akro--a nice big one! Marble--On!!
-
Very nice images--those long cutlines fall into line with what @Ric has to say here. Marble--On!!

It would be called a cat for whatever reason. From Asia--pretty common. Marble--On!! -
X3--Akro---not an easy find--probably dug. Marble--On!!
-
It has one very long cut line or is that from rolling around

Pelt X2--- Marble--On!! -
It is not a MK---I will lean towards Vitro here just because of the colors. Nice find! Marble--On!!
-
Many more images are need here--nice crisp and clean--crop them! Marble--On!!
-
Yes, this one is a Rainbow by MK. In Michigan it might be worth more👍. Marble--On!!
-
Not real common--but common enough to be called a "Flicker" Flames are just special--this one is not. Nice marble! Marble--On!
-
It is not an Akro but I appreciate that you picked this one out and showed it to us here. I love the inclusions of dirt. This is more than likely a dug WVS (West Virginia Swirl)of some sort. It is not worth much in dollars but a pretty cool find imho. Thanks for sharing it! Marble--On!!
-
Wrong imho. This is just a nice Akro Cork that includes itself with many that are rare and hard to find. This is a first for me and I am impressed. There is no need to get fired up about names here---I think that it was just a reaction to the find. I would be fired up too if I found it. A fired-up reaction to a rarely found marble is always a great thing to share with us all. Marble—On! My Marble Collecting Friends!

Right back at you Ric😁--I did not name them--I just disagreed-with the OG ID==no Sparkler here either imho. They are cool to find , hold, and try to figure out. I had a few of these show up from some of the earlier digs in purchases that I made. This is from some of the old stuff from many years, way back, in the grey matter ( which is starting to turn brown). Just a "dug Akro" works for me. Marble--On!!
-
No doubt about it---really cool! Pink In an Akro==pretty rare! At first I tought Jabo or DAS--but the wear one this one--puts it back into what @Alan is telling us here. I agree--nice find! Marble--On!!
-
It sure does Alan! I will leak towards a WVS though--lets call in some experts in wvs. Marble--On!!
-
X2 with @Ric. Nice Akro! Marble--On!!
-
These big Akros came out of a dig and are generally called "Sparklers". I never quite agreed with this but I am quite sure that it is an Akro. There is no Oxblood involved here imho. Marble--On!!

Vacor Atmospheres questions to the owner.
akroorka replied to stephenb's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Along with the " Spheres” and “Pyramids”. Were the two bigger marbles produced by Vacor and were they sold to “gift shops” in the USA? Marble—On!!
