clydetul62 Posted April 30, 2011 Report Share Posted April 30, 2011 It is allowed to ask what vacor did. Vacor imitated at least 3 of pelts marbles. Vacor did golen rebels, tigers and blue panthers though they had different names fot the panthers and rebels.The golden rebel which is yellow base with red and black. For pelt I havent seen or heard of the black in a golden rebel always contain aventurine. They did tigers too. Except all of vacors do not contain avent. Some pelts do not contain avent and some do all zebras, tigers, wasps, bees do/do not contain avent. The blue panther that Jill Marie shows is the hardest to tell. Especially by pics.

I am almost positive this is not Vacor, I don't know what it is, but not Vacor. It is slightly transparent along one of the blue stripes...you can see the blue stripe go a little deep (in all 3 pics) along the transparent black; that center black stripe is the only transparent one...but only slightly. The rest of the black is opaque. When did they make the imitations? This one looks to me exactly like the first mib on the left in post #10....my flash has washed out the color a bit on my pic, in hand, the color is actually a little more lavender than my pics shows.

Hi Jill, how have you been? Good I hope! From the picture's I've seen on this link it sure looks like one to me!!! How exciting if it is Wow! I was told by another member that they are worth 4 to 6 hundred dollars. I'm just telling you what another member told me and he said Don't sell it! That is when he thought mine was a Blue Panther. Anyway it is beautiful. Take care. Sharon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still not sure what it is, but it would be awesome if it is....I won't sell it just cause it's the only one like it I have. I got it with an older lot of marbles about 15 yrs ago. You have a wonderful evening, I know how busy your days are! Take care sweetie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 I really believe that blue marble is a Vacor made 10+ years ago. Use an extremely bright backlight and you may be able to tell the base is dark transparent glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Marie Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 K, so, I've had this marble for awhile now, and this seems the best spot to show it. Is this a blue panther? and if it is; what is it worth; and if it is not, what is it? it has no marks, except the fingerprints I put on it, and no aventurine....I've been wondering what it is, it's 5/8ths. Thanks all! THis is from post #25 Got a positive ID from Chuck and GIno at the IL show on this one, and he gave me happy news as it is a blue panther....YEAH!!!! You rock Chuck!!! and I went ahead and got me a Bruiser from Gino....such fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Marie Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi all, sorry it took me so long to get back to you, but here are the pix of the bruiser....they are not the greatest, but I will take a few more pix tomorrow when the sun is up, but I thought I would post what I had. I pray you all have an awesome NEW YEAR!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 Hi Jill, glad to see you brought this back up for discussion. Remember photos are great but sometimes inspections (in hand) are much better. Here is a small list of the pelt black and blue color combos you might want to remember. Clyde might want to chime in on this one to. First is the pelt peerless one and its the blue base with the black patch possibly containing av. Everyone calls them the bruisers which is cool. The brusiers may be or have an opaque black base or a colored dark transparent base. I have two types of these and the other is on a sky blue base with a black patch. Now you have the blue panther like the photo and its the hardest to find of all of them in the nlr pattern. Now the last one is the blue/gray base rainbo that has what looks like black ribbons but may fool you and if you take a strong light you will find its possibly a dark green ribbons, now not saying it could be black also. I have these types with two ribbons three ribbons and four ribbons, like the very first photo shown. Clyde, may want to add some to this also. Love the pelts!!!

westcoast_dave Posted December 31, 2011 Report Share Posted December 31, 2011 There is also a "green" bruiser that at first glance appears to be a pelt "green hornet" with a black base and wild green pattern, but when back lit the base is actually a dark brownish green.

EdNargel Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Similar to the one in the OP and a really cool variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Nice grouping Dfay, most of them look like Pelts (except the separate one marked 43/64). Recipes and ratios varied between (and within) batches and companies so colors didn't always look the same whether it was in the same batch or a different company altogether.

I'llhavethat1 Posted June 21, 2017 Report Share Posted June 21, 2017 Guess we're all responding to a 6 year old thread at the same time lol. Yes, EdNargel thats a cool Pelt variation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
