Yes, this is a Marble King, but the photos and descriptions are not coming out right. It looks like you have a Big boy at .96" in one place and a standard 5/8" in another. The .96 is a Tiger variety with a white base. The smaller appears similar as orange but a transparent blue base. . Orange on a blue base is odd as usually it's red not orange. This is a newer when red is called a transparent Wasp. If Orange it's likely to be considered a transparent Tiger, (I guess). A big Tiger on a white base is very hard to find. I mean, in standard 5/8" there are probably 4 times as many, or more, red/black (purple) Wasps versus the amount of Tigers. In perspective, a big boy size in a Wasp is a bit hard to get but comparably a big Tiger is in the rare arena. In fact, it's easier to get a big Bengal Tiger (Almost the same except Bengal gets yellow on the side of the orange usually on top of the white area.) So, the Tiger is black (purple) and orange with a white base. A Bengal Tiger is near the same but gets yellow on the edge too. Much harder to find a big Tiger. Here's a Big Bengal Tiger.

Can't see all of them but it looks like all Vitro and or variants of helmet. Certainly, white and red stripes are helmets too.

You might could if I didn't virtually trash it. It's a set up, a scam by Clifford and Debbie White and Scott P Shupe Melted Akro cullet the three of them burned me On Ebay 2005. Bad Vibes so, I got rid of it. This one too, Bad people and bad Vibes. I dumped them but only regret I did not smash em with a hammer. So, beware because they may resurface someday.

Yeah, this link on Worth Point ought to answer questions over doubt about the nature of Vacor De Mexico's tricky fake, look-a-like CAC marbles. There are some Vacor Serpents that have fooled many by impersonating Peltier Superman and a couple of other Peltier. For the most part, Vacor's swirl pattern is pretty much the same across the board' as long as you can keep up with each color set and all the names. But here we have the example where yellow thins out, gets a little stretching and molted blotches. Add to it where their pattern has gone askew and wa, la, we got a hybrid! Notably, Vacor's colors can shift to different shades or tones like red-brown and red to pinks or Samon as one example. Many of their basic colors shift regularly. . It occurs to me that, when we find stuff like it, a Vacor has morphed into a hybrid. Worth point is a thief. Always taking eBay's locked or protected images and then locking it exclusive to their own. I think, if ya gonna swipe stuff like that, the least can do is allow peeps to link it. But, alas, click the link because 4 good photos on it should leave no doubts, that, I'd rather hunt it down for days and days before stinky Eck! cheese gets under my nose. 37/64" VACOR 1ST RUN "TWISTER" MINT | #459949376 (worthpoint.com)

You mean the Yellow, Black and some kind of pink colors? No, there's no looping or tunnel-like traits on it. It's interesting, but I no see CAC in or on it. I am not a Vacor fan from several years back, yet I am sensing it may be an early, mid to later 1990s run of this color set. Yup, here's that thin yellow and pink. It's a Vacor Twister. Accordingly, it's an early run. Although, the OP's Twister has more class.

That's what's so cool in an CAC Electric Yellow; Stretching, and melding. 1 has a loop or tunnel, on the side. 2, also on side and 3. maybe but the bubbling is nice.

Sunday's best tip ever! Are ya feeling Lucky? Consider you are now. Are you up for a marble hunt? How's about 6-8 German cane-cut Lutz sound as a prize? All in mint condition as I have seen previously. So, this is your Lucky Day because on this Sunday best I am going to share a secret that I have not told in over 20 years. Nobody but Clyde T. knew my secret. To win this game you only need to find the golden poker chip carrier. I used to have more photos but this is all I have now. More details below photos What's so special about some stupid antique Poker chip rack or carrier? This spins around because there are bearings inside. If i recall, about 6-8 bearings. But probably not the best bearings, all 5/8 or 3/4" golden Lutz Cane-cut hiding inside of this original case, used as the bearings to rotate it.. I mean not best for bearings because German cane-cut marbles would not be as round as a Machine made is. But, those inside this were mint. I have lost the photos with the marbles regardless, that's the leprechaun, Rub its belly with a screwdriver to get the gold Happy Hunting!😂.

Not what I ever considered a 'Beach ball, too much white. Tricolored MKs 3 colors of 4 possible divided in a white base: red, blue, yellow or green. I think, the closest to a MK beachball is also considered a Peacock (as seen in these 2 photos attached below) with all four plus black without separations of white. Of which, the tricolored types seem to be a 1960's Paden City post-1959 Newest production while Peacock/Beachball accordingly, In this topic: Moreover, they (Tricolored) do seem to be the last survivors of early MK, before the mid 60's or approximately 1967. whenever MK's line became a 2 patch.

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

Agreed. Divided core. Or cadged divided core., Naked or it's your marble call it whatever you want. -
Yeah, there you go Ric, better at capturing the colors, and added yellows I don't have and, your set pretty much covers the entire theme. supporting the point.
-
Of all the incidental 9 patterns I have seen, that's off the charts. And not just happenstance but unique favorable colors too.
-
Fraid to say so late but, this is a foreign, Maybe German marble. They show up in sets of Solitaire, maybe from the 1940-60's.

Whelp, That's what or how I remember it back then. in fact, if I recall properly She had photos of her marbles on the net for a few years and I'd thought, as you can see with Ray's, if it did not say so, it looks opaque. Pretty sure, the other in question 'Blue Boy' might have been whenever the name game was getting annoying to me. Alan B. has the two side by side here: Alox Company Marbles (buymarbles.com)

Afraid U got me on that spot. Actually, although I paid attention to what Jill found and sold, I think I poo-poohed the whole name game thing whenever she had a few. Or typically, whenever something different turns up I'll sit back, wait for the fever to take a chill, and grab one or two as examples. I have a pair the same as the topic. But can't recall if from Jill or a random Ebay pick at the time I began seeing the emergence of those being questioned. However when it comes down to differences and name games; the 'Golden Boy is distinctly different and I do not have it. But, as in Butt head a quick look across the net shows it. A residing link to one by 'One Stop' (Ray Tetrick) Both the yellow and blue are different tints. yellow is brighter and stronger (Golden), and blue is a bit softer vs the Blue boy, without good light, Blue Boy's yellow can appear near white.

Actually, I remember your, chocolate milk thingy RAR, years ago. I think or Know, the first time I'd seen a Cow was in Bob Block's auction. So, think Bob may have coined the name. Regardless, it was his auction that made them popular. Directly after all different shades of 'Chocolate came out of the cracks. Some debates as to which one had red, brown, .or what?' I think that yours was more unique for Chocolate because it only hints a dab of brown mixing in milk.. Perhaps a one of a kind.

Yeah, I can see the tick of the glass on this, but it does not look like a pontal but rather more like an error. The photos need to be improved to clarify if it's just a tick or actually hand-gathered. It may be as it does appear to have a spiral within it, yet can't confirm with these photos.
-
Jill Spencer coined the tag, "Blue boy which is just about the same as this. However, there's some mud clouding the water. Although she dug hers up IDK, around 1999 there have been some just like these photos that have surfaced after 2005 or so which complicates things. But, yes it's a Marble King 'Blue Boy' either way.

It is a theme of a single white colored stripe across from a red. They run from the OP,'s Transparent Bubbling tinted gray to opaque blue tints. Without any effort to specify; as yawl say: "A family". I have 35+ of this type that have a unity of color and design. I think a few people have tried to classify some of these types due to red /white stripes and the gray and blue shades. I never attempted to amass the group I have rather, acquired it because they are more plentiful than a similar themed style, called 7up. 7up's unity is green while this group's is medium dark blue too light blue and gray. I have had these for, IDK, like 25 years. Here's a sample shot of 3 groups. I have 5 groups of these in my trays. The bottom photo has a couple of the same as the OP's marble. Not sure the photos are accomplishing the point, but to see the whole group of 30-40 the family unity would be obvious.

For the most part, only M.F. Christensen produced marbles/Slags up to 2" and maybe larger on special order. And about 1-1/4" amber slags are not too hard to find.
-
Caught my curiosity so took a look around. from the 1880s to 1953 whenever it got bought out. That seems like the right time for the Peltier rainbos to have been left behind in the display and boxes.
-
It is the same black in a Golden Rebel, without aventurine (maybe 3 tiny specks, not worth mentioning.. To that effect, too dark to shine a light through the body of it. You cannot shine light into or submerge to show any except transparency, like many Golden Rebels. However, near top of this photo, where red meets black and crosses to yellow, , that black, in between the ribbons, has some transparency Albeit hard to see inside it. . Were you to take a bright close-up on a Golden R, it is very dark-green- brown to blackish. I have seen that mix for black Chinese checkers before as well. Opaque Black? I do not believe there is such a thing in machine-made toy marbles, but it's as black as they get.
-
x3, it's a Peltier with red and white which is a pretty common rainbow that's usually on a blue too gray transparent bubbly base. I have 3 in my hands that have a red and a white stripe.
-
I concur X2, the OP marble is orange, A Peltier Tiger. And ya knock enough: I Coined the Peltier 'Halloween' tag IDK for sure but around 2000-2001 It 'Its the big'en.
