The Nickel Guy

I have not seen these before but . . . I like em! I agree they have that Vacor look. Neat design.

I must have gotten these (Top half) during a run of Blue Tang making that lacked the sufficient deep blue swirl colored glass and these are more green. I don't think they are a named style of Vacor but if the are, please let me know. For now I shall call them "Tangle". Seems appropriate for the situation they put me in. Pictures are fairly close to color I suppose. Thanks for looking.

Superb Rooster for sure.

I have been searching still. It thought it could be a "Twister" lacking yellow? But I see now that Glasfirma made a marble with these colors they call "Black Beard" and in the USA a frosted one could be "Pirate" but still, those are two patch marbles and this is clearly a swirl. I may be mistaken but I might have found this in a Mexico Canicas De Vidrio Assorted Net Bag. Maybe one of you people sent it to me in a trade? VA?

It is opaque black with a burnt orange and white swirl pattern. I have seen others with the very same colors and are alike. Nobody calls them by name so far and I thought I'd ask. Thank you kindly.

A few times I showed marbles to a non collector person and they seem to point them out. usually the girls or kids will like them. The last time it happened I was in line at Hobby Lobby and a lady said "Ooooh . . . that's a pretty one". Coincidently, I just assembled 5 sacks of 37 players an hour ago and those were what Mega Marbles is currently calling "Confetti". However they are actually very iridescent 6 vein marbles. The frit covered ones were what I always thought were Confetti's. I make up sets of these but they don't do much for me. I get the frits in Mega Marble assorted bags along with boring solid color opaques and clearies and making up 24 + 1 shooter sets seems to be the only way to deal with them. Everybody is allowed to like whatever they like, so I see nothing wrong with them. Actually I find some that are a bit outrageous and I put them aside.

I just thought they resembled the Woodland Camo and posted to show others what a similar Alley (in my opinion) looked like since it was in question by the OP bumblebee. The closest Alley color combo I recalled looks different so that might just help clear things up. It only took me 10 or 15 minutes to find the video and compose my post.

Real nice marbles. They do resemble Alley Agate Woodland Camo which Ron Shepherd highlights at 7:50 ish on this Stephen Bahr video.

Welcome, and I like your photography and the nice marbles.

ouch

I got a small jar of these mostly Vitro Conquerors today in a huge antique mall. $15.90 incl tax. I thought that was pretty good. They were dirty. There was a green Akro slag hiding in the middle that was battered and it didn't make the picture. Also a pee wee clearie is elsewhere now. There are two in the right hand side that I am pretty sure one is a Master and the other is a strange one. Both of these have been warriors with lots of honest play wear but no fractures or chips. Then there are some of the usual WVS in the forefront and a couple that are not Conquerors I guess, but might be Vitro, One has very subtle pastel colors and a double line red patch but I don't think I can photo it. The rest are really super nice Conquerors, some Victory and maybe Phantoms. There are 5 Vitro Whitie out front. I am well pleased with all 80 marbles in the picture and it is time to rearrange my Vitro collection display, (Click for larger)

I thought this was quite interesting. Someday I may own one but until then I can learn more. Thanks for the great and informative video.

Ooooooo that's beautiful. I have no idea who made it but my first thought was it's a Jabo contract run which means not a whole lot. It sure is nice.

I don't know much at all about the more modern European marbles but when I see this type that seam always looks like a battlefield doctor sewed up a soldier and went on to the next patient. Always a bit ragged from what I have noticed on this type and always a bit of a gap maybe. I don't think we see this on Master Marbles.

I have discovered an ebay listing by a seller who specializes in Vacor Mega Marbles and has named these Cobalt Patch 2024. How long that link will be good I don't know but I kinda like calling them "Jarts" better. LOL
