Vacor Mega Marbles Question - Eclipse vs Current Michelangelo
Al Oregon replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
From Pete's Database again - he has Mummy as Transparent purple with orange swirls and Orangutan as Transparent orange with orange swirls. Didier's site says Translucent purple for Mummy but otherwise same as Pete's. -
Vacor Mega Marbles Question - Eclipse vs Current Michelangelo
Al Oregon replied to The Nickel Guy's topic in Marble I.D.'s
It does seem to make sense. Michelangelos, per Pete's LOM Board database describes Michelangelo as - "Transparent blue base swirled with red, white, blue and yellow." Didier, on his website, doesn't list Eclipse separately but has the name linked to Michelangelo. Back in 2005 time frame, David Chamberlain had the plastic boxes of marbles from Vacor and the upper left one in the picture here, has the name Eclipse (but, of course, no description). I have not closely examined the actual marbles to confirm a transparent blue base in both types but if the other colors match (red, white, blue & yellow), then it makes more sense. -
I like CAC

No cork to it - just swirl.

You know, I am almost with an Akro slag on that one.

For some reason, I am leaning Vitro on that one.

Agree with Akro

Lion has iridescent finish and Halloween has clear finish (both are orange, black and white swirls). Hard to tell the iridesence. Here are two bag pics.

New one to me and I have a lot of Imperial Packaging. There is a date of 2005 so since that time frame. Cool Bombers in there!

I do not recognize that label. Is the label torn in half - it kinda looks like there is another piece behind this one.

MK bagged Pelts and Peltier bagged MK's. Here are some other Peltier "printed on bags" (as I call them) that have MK's. Union Made - hey, kids of Union fathers will clamor for them (back in the 50's....).

Thanks for sharing this. I enjoyed my short visit with him when I was in that area for a KC marble show many "moons" ago.

Vitro Horseshoe cat's-eye - hybrid type. You can see the horseshoe shape in Pic 7 especially.
