Steph Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 That blue/yellow/white looks like a Vacor oddity. One day I'd like to know when/where this one came from. These are just different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richsantaclaus Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 I wish I had written down where I got all my marbles the moment I was at the antique store or even the State I was in! I was SO happy to find them that I felt like a little kid in a candy store with $10! I think I got that particular marble when I was in Canada andto the best of my knowledge, none of the marbles the 2 brothers and one sister had were Vacor. They brought me at least 9 BIG jars of marbles to go through - I got pelts, MK, slags, Vitro, and cateyes - MANY cateyes!!!!! I was there SO long, they gave me a bottle of water while I was looking over the marbles. They brought me a large box lid to pour them (gently of course) into so I could look closer at the choices. I got real deals too I think. Later, I'll post vintage mibs for you all to see that I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richsantaclaus Posted August 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Japanese, that makes sense getting them in Canada...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 20, 2011 Report Share Posted August 20, 2011 Thanks Dani. That would be awesome. Rich, I still suspect Vacor on your blue, yellow, white one. Especially if the base color is crystal clear like it seems to be in the picture. Al, what do you think on that one? I don't think I've ever seen a crystal clear one from Japan.

lstmmrbls Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 Vacor all the way on the marble Rich posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted August 21, 2011 Report Share Posted August 21, 2011 I agree that Rich's marble probably is Vacor - just too odd a pattern for Japanese. Even though they had some messed up ones (Japanese), they still maintained the pattern pretty close. The Japanese had clear glass cat's-eyes, besides the coke bottle green that we are familiar with, but I'm thinking Steph is talking about crystal clear rather than 'normal' clear.

99marbles131 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 that second mib in #14 is killer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 Rich, I'd say the remaining ones of yours going left to right, top to bottom, numberwise, #'s 3, 8, 9 & 10 are Vitros. #12 looks Japanese. Others could be variety of foreign from Japanese to Vacor to India, China,... really hard to tell on some. Vacor put out a ton of peewees similar to some that Mike showed also.
