Michaelangelo not although it is Vacor. , But,IDK if they discontinued this surface back then, made at the time they came out. IDK which name yours has but do know whenever Vacor made Michealangelo's some of their verities which included Michaelangelo had the same frosted surface too. I have a Michel from, like 22 years ago, or whenever first made, in a 5-10 cent each box of new marbles, I'd thought different than others for the surface and sample example.
Thank for your reply. Can you tell me what " IDK " stands for ?

I've never seen a Vacor with seems like this, but I'll defer to the judgement of the more experienced than me.

According to Stephen Barr, Vacor was the only co. to make Frosted Marbles. They made one called " Beluga " that had a light blue base, with white swirls. From the pictures shown, I don't much white. Sometimes a net bag of Vacors will have some marbles that look quite different from the others. A sure way to tell a Vacor frosted finish, is that it looks like " Sea Glass ". Hard to tell for sure if this one has that, from the pictures shown. The size on this one is also kind of off for Vacor. Their players are all around 5/8", and their shooters are around 1". This one is 22mm ( 7/8" )

Seeing eyelashes in the 2nd pic?
Yes. Their small, but you can see them in the blue area right at the seam.

This could be a Vacor " Milky Way "

The pen light I was using was a Halogen. I tried it with a regular flashlight, and in the direct sunlight, and the translucent base was still green. What I can now see by holding the MIB in my hand in the bright sunlight, is that all of the black ribbons that I thought were Zebra stripes, are actually the green translucent base that look like black stripes until you put the sunlight on them. Thanks for all of your help.
