  1. Sounds bananas, but I bought a bag of marbles for $12.50 today, and so this probably isn't an Atmosphere... but, is it? It was in a bag with some clearies/solids, some modern Asians, and some from House of Marbles... which may be where the Vacors came from. At least 5 of the marbles are Vacors I believe - they have the orange peel texture and/or I found their names, including a 22 mm (7/8") Dragon, and 35mm (about 1-3/8") Frosted Rainbow, Oily, and (pretty sure) Jupiter. Pictures of those are included at the end, but the one that I'm wondering about is this 35mm (1-3/8") boulder with orange peel texture. Could it be an Atmosphere or is that just wishful thinking? Of the types I've seen discussed on Stephen Bahr's video about Atmospheres, it's most similar to a wave-type. Any Vacor experts able to weigh in?
  2. Aaannnd... I already found an error. Marble King makes a variety of sizes... what I'm not sure about is whether they started out with a smaller range? Hmmm this chart may need more work!
  3. Hello! I'm new to this forum, but found your post when I was trying to visualize Chuck Sumner's great information from AllAboutMarbles, which he linked above. Where did you get your measurements from - your own collection or other sources? I tried to make sure that they line up with Chuck's and they do of course! So based on those two sources, I made a version that's a graph. It's alphabetical with the idea that you might wonder, "is this a Master" for example and then check the chart to see if the size seems right. Groupings aren't alphabetical obviously but I wanted this to be at-a-glance without too many columns. I have found it useful in checking some IDs so I thought I'd share it and see if anyone else finds it helpful. I'm very open to corrections and feedback.
