@shiroaiko Hi, just tagged you on the other thread regarding this... https://ebay.us/m/4GJqir Might be an important piece of the jigsaw (not sure where things are up to with this research at the moment as I've not been able to stay up to date). I don't really have the funds to purchase these at the moment, but maybe another UK collector would be so kind to secure them for the marble collecting community...?

Hello @shiroaiko, just resurrecting this thread, not sure if it's the right place to put this - but look what I just spotted on Ebay https://ebay.us/m/4GJqir

Someone very thoughtfully made me this display for Christmas. They said to put my favourites on them. Well, some of my favourites are a bit too prescious to have out on display with cats and children on the loose, so I filled it with some of my favourite DAS and Sammy's and am very pleased with how it looks.

Opaque veiligglas?

Tumbleweed...Everyone as stumped as yourself?

Yay - with those colours my first thought was also Akro, nice to know my instinct "may" be correct.

Oh gosh - yes, I fell into this trap too! Bought a couple of lots, excitedly thinking I was getting a few special Hurricanes, received them and was very underwhelmed to discover this same thing...

@The Nickel Guy, I love seeing the dedication in this project. The names can be so confusing, useful resources out there and I started my own spreadsheets to help gather the ones I liked, but I've not spotted anything for sale online in the UK that I'm after for a while.

Loving the "woodgrain" pattern!

Gorgeous!

One of the reasons I'm so happy about this little lot, is that I was absolutely not expecting to find anything as good as this on the site I was on. I was only searching to see if any of the many Vacors on there caught my eye. And yes, the bee has AV.

Yeah, I really like them. They came with some Vacors and what I have worked out are probably Imperial. Seem like Vacor colours and patterns but I can't find anything with this combination. Im assuming they may have come via House of Marbles, as I'm in the UK. I remembered to ask the seller background, but all he could remember was that him and his friends were into marbles at the time and he was given them for his birthday, I don't know how long ago though.

These really seem like they should be Vacors, but im just not sure. 5/8 Any thoughts?

Well thankfully they didn't last long - showed these (and about 20 more) to my 5 year old this morning and he shouted "cake marbles" and claimed them all, big brother then jealous, so I've promised him the next lot 😂

Oh dear...yep, this is a minefield, I'm out!
