Big hugs back at you too!...and may all your marbles be round, wet mint, and worth big bucks!

Hey Mojo! That makes a lot of sense! And yes confusion! Black Panthers are now Shark toons!? I keep forgetting that companies are not obligated to do anything except to sell product. They can change headers, outsource their product to other countries for packaging, or do what ever to make a profit. Thank you for clearing things up, helping explain the logic; and yes, making things confusing...lol!

I'm glad that you posted those pictures. That is the first time that I have seen anything that resembles what I have. Also, I didn't know that glasfirma has several locations around the world. Good to know.

Okay-- So just for clarification, and knowledge acquisition-- you folks are saying that Glasfirma occasionally gets marbles from China -'Kings' and adds them to their assortment bags to fill them with what ever they don't have? If that is what they are doing then I'm cool with that. Just to clarify logic-- why would a marble company acquire marbles from China instead of just using their wonky extras? My marbles do bare a striking resemblance to Ric's picture for sure. But the orange peel texture still hangs me up. Is this situation similar to the M.F.C./C.A.C. change over, or putting Alley marbles into other company's bags? Please help me figure it out and thanks for sticking with me in all of this.

Talk about a major score of marbles! Envious here!

Wow! Good eyes on you! So I might be looking at pelt or WVS....?

Did some serious vacor searching and it might be a centipede....eeww!

I had a thought that maybe these are transitionals . Either tank wash types, or changing from one marble type to another. They definitely are mega-marbles that came in those marble mixed assortment packs/netted bags. Kind of like their 'Pound of marbles' where they take extras and throw them in net bags to sell. I bought them from the Planetarium in S.L.C.; and they only sell Mega-marble brand. I hypothesize that the white was either 'tank wash' to clear out colored glass from the kiln, or they were switching marble types. If it was not for the white, these would be 'Dragons'. They have the classic orange peel surface texture, and that spray on luster. I think that assortment bags are ment to sell their marbles that don't quite fit their classic line of established types. Other companies kept them in boxes, or dumped them in pits to be dug up later by lucky marble hunters. Vacor/Glasfirma seems to have found a different way to get rid of wonky weird types by stuffing them in bags and selling them as a mix. That is my take on it.

The first pic made me think Master Marble with that 'V' cut seam but I wasn't sure...

Oh!! Maybe a Giraffe??

Your guess is s good as mine. Head scratcher. 5/8ths ".

An orange and green mib that might be a master M. but need verification. Its 5/8ths ". Thanks and hugs

I'm getting a Peltier vibe, but need more experienced eyes. Its 5/8ths ". Thanks and best wishes

Looking for clues. Its 5/8ths ". thanks for the help--

Apologies. I'm just trying to figure out what 'name' that they have. If you or other Vacor gurus can help out- that would be great.

That is quite the beauty!! Is that a bumble bee/dragonfly hybrid?

I got them from the Planetarium marble kiosk. They only sell mega-marble/glass firma marbles. They are from the "mixed assortment bag". They are Vacor lineage. They also have the orange peel textured surface. They even have that sprayed-on luster. Which type of marble is still up for grabs...

I have been searching through as many Vacor archives as I can find and--nothing. Three boulders 1", White opaque base with red, yellow, green ribbons. I could use the help...Thanks

MK 'Beach Balls' 5-color- one of my favorites!... Still looking for a shooter or Boulder beach ball to complete the set.

Maybe it is Heaton...

AH!! Got it! Thanks Chad.
