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!

Thanks, I always disliked them but for now im strangely fascinated, until something else distracts me...

Won't bother taking more detailed shots unless someone thinks any are of interest. Not really keen on these but just spent an hour down the confetti rabbit hole. Anything stand out, or just crud?

My first intentionally purchased Vacors -

@RosalieR, thanks for yesterday's post, you may have helped me solve one mystery marble

Yay - I was going to suggest Master 😄

Gorgeous colours!

Shine a light through it - is it transparent?

Thanks for input, I won't argue with that. It's been useful anyway, as it directed me towards finding out about the thrilling marble scandals of the early 20th century!

11/16 M.F., or is that just wishful thinking? Another transitional?

Haha, thankfully my autocorrect has it saved

DAS are known to have that sort of swirl. Not sure if 5/8 were produced though...

I'd say that structure looks like veiligglas to me...

Im working on it, unfortunately my brain is a seive... In the meantime, as I try to gather the different traits, at least I can just enjoy looking at them.

I've got quite a few green wvs, I always think I'm going to figure them out but the subtleties in the different shades makes it tough!

@The Nickel Guy, sorry for my misdirection, just trying to shake things up a bit 😅

Aha- Just checked and think you are correct about the 3 on the right,cheers!

Thanks for the input, I'll look up Bluejays. The groups are separate, those on the right came with a load of other Japanese transitionals, the 3 on the left are from a mixed vintage lot, but there were a few vacors in it.

I believe these may be relatives... All bubbly to varying degrees and I think demonstrate other matching traits.
