kbobam Posted January 12, 2016 Report Share Posted January 12, 2016 This is all Greek to me! But that's good. Looks like billes is marbles in French. Just looked that up, and I guess it works for beads as well. We've already seen billetes in Vacor ads, although there've been other words at times as well. Guessing that French-speaking people have others as well. I think words for 'marbles' are pretty limited in modern English. Although the posts about 'traditional' marble-related language have been interesting and a lot of fun! I've always liked Vacors, although I understand why some people don't at times. They've made quite a few nice ones, and I sometimes appreciate how they came up with an entirely new affordable 'grading system term'. In my words, the "Imperfect Wet Mint"!

Steph Posted June 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 Probably my favorite Vacors are the Sunsets. Some older pix I ran across tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted June 17, 2016 Report Share Posted June 17, 2016 I'd never have guessed they were Vacor - nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 One of Vacors newest. They are called Seahorse. Being only the 3rd type Vacor that has prompted a purchase, I figured I better share. Arguably the nicest of the new Vacor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Here are 3 of my favorites out of the box. Notice they are slightly different in colors. I found only one with green in it along with the blue. Her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted August 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm glad you're embracing them! I could see Alley collectors going the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Love my Alley, but I think there is some room to squeeze in a random swirl here and there. I don't see there being any confusion over these and they seem to be a slight departure from the norm in Vacor. =} Have to say, the last one there slightly reminds me of CAC.

EdNargel Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 There some Vacors that I can appreciate for their beauty as well, the transparent red one is 1" and I'm really diggin the simplicity of it, I just ignore the orange peel surface Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted September 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2016 I used to collect owls when I was a kid. Never thought until just now about how I should add this to my old collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
