Looks like a tropical fruit in hand or a lime. Great marbles!

That make very good sense! It sounds more logical and practical to send specific machine parts through the mail; and I forgot about U.S. steel quality. Vacor also could have just sent a couple of employees with a truck to collect the gear in person which might have cut down on costs a little. I guess milling those long spiral arm/tubes out of high quality steel would be a difficult chore for anyone in a machine shop.

This 7/8ths " biggy has me suspecting Vacor; but I have been wrong before. Any help would be great!

All that I can say is that it might be a German handmade at 15/16ths ". Full of bubbles and swirls. Any help would be appreciated.

This 1"1/4 Transparent 'Sarsaparilla' looking beauty has me scratching my head. Any help ID-ing would be great!

I think that this 1"1/4 might be a Marble King St. Mary's Cat's eye, but need more experienced 'Cool Cats' to give this marble the eye...LOL!!...yes; I know. I'll go stand in a corner and think about what I've done.

Thanks for the extra help. I guess that this is my first 'Picasso'! Cool! Did Vacor ever make Picasso's and rebrand them under a different name/animal? And I have a technical question...Are marble making machines rare enough to warrant being inherited by another company rather than making new ones? From all of the videos that I have watched, they always seem quite 'analogue' in design and manufacture. For goodness sake! We are sending probes to Pluto, and observing the earliest galaxies in the history of the universe. A person would think that a better, newer, computerized machine could be made rather than sending an old one through the mail from Illinois to Mexico by mail. I understand 'waste not- want not'; but Vacor must have paid some pretty steep shipping and handling charges just for a Peltier machine from Ottawa Illinois. Please help me figure it out....

Wow! Cool! Because of the gradation of red to orange/yellow on one side of the marble (pic 2 & 3) I never would have guessed Vacor. But now that I look at it and compare to the other pictures offered, I can see it! Those two seams so close together threw me off. So-- I have a very early version of Vacor 'Picasso' (maybe unnamed). And Vacor inheriting a machine from Peltier is new and good information, and has my brain churning.

Thanks and best wishes

Thank you folks.

Thanks for the help folks!

Thanks guys!

Thanks to all.

looks Vacor to me...possibly a 'Piccasso'

Congratulations!! Now you just need the Blue Ox gravity machine and you are all set! Great looking find!

Supergirl!!!

Flicker!! Spread the word! Good name!

When it comes to Vitro, I always check this graph first. I hope that it helps. It might be a number 1 or 4. You decide since you can see it better.

Looks like you have some nice German hand mades in there as well...
