popculturizm Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 In theory there would be some Vacor marbles that would be vintage - since they began production in the 1930's - "Caveat emptor" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I LOVE MARBLES Posted June 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 So this is a fake marble tryin to pass as a Peltier? Not a fake but a machine made marble from a company; Vacor de Mexico. They market them with the name "Serpent". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted June 8, 2010 Report Share Posted June 8, 2010 So this is a fake marble tryin to pass as a Peltier? What Scott (I Love Marbles) said. Vacor makes marbles for play. Real and colorful and eye catching for kids to enjoy. I don't think they're thinking about the Peltier collectibles market. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr.trj Posted June 9, 2010 Report Share Posted June 9, 2010 Can anyone show an authentic pelt superman so I can see the differences from the Vacors? I can tell the Akro supermans, but I'm confused by the pelts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manddrakes Posted June 10, 2010 Report Share Posted June 10, 2010 Sure looks Vacor to me! Seller responded: Mike. I purchased this from a reputable collector and have subsequently confirmed that this is a genuine peltier superman.

I can tell the Akro supermans, but I'm confused by the pelts. Vacor has a pattern that shows up on their marbles - below are examples of a few of the Vacor patterns: This is a Vacor serpent This is a real Peltier Superman notice the cut lines - color slightly bends just before the cut? Here are a few examples of Vacors "pattern" long tailing swirl - huge big curve - thin twists back and forth (not corked) When you see that pattern on a Peltier CubScout (vacor wavebreakers),Peltier Tiger (vacor tiger), a Cherry Akro Slag (vacor rooster) or Blue Akro Slag (vacor neptune), or a Peltier Superman (vacor serpent)- or a multitude of Ravenswood and other assorted West Virginia swirls - which vacor has named "old fashioneds" - bells and whistles should go off for further examination.

Nice presentation and a good tread to learn from. Those transparent red roosters fooled me acouple times as well when buying lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a few I pulled out of my Vacor box. If you look at the white ribbons the base blends them pink. Maybe Alan are CAC I'm just giving you my thoughts is all.

I LOVE MARBLES Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Think there is a company, House of marbles? Anyway they make marbles with the same colors as Vacor, but the ones they make are nicer, better quality. Is anyone familiar with those marbles? Pictures please? Thanks Mike for the pics!
