stephenb Posted June 26, 2018 Report Share Posted June 26, 2018 Hi all , someone is selling these on instagram, they claim to be vintage and the location is two hours away. Do you think these look vintage or more like the newer Vacor Marbles that are around nowadays. Any help would be appreciated, I would hate to take a four hour round trip to the location to be disappointed. Thankyou, for any tips !

Steph Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Some of them look like Vacor. The blue and yellow ones left of center look Vacor ... or Asian. Modern and foreign anyway. The ones to the right of that look mostly vintage. Not exciting though. I'm not seeing a reason for a four hour trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenb Posted June 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 Thankyou Steph ! I emailed them for a few close up photos and hopefully they will respond. It’s tempting but I’ll need to see better photos to take the trip . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted June 27, 2018 Report Share Posted June 27, 2018 That $5 each bowl is full of Vacors. The black and white swirly marbles to the right of the red and white ones ... yesterday I thought they might be vintage ... today they look Vacor. One of the jars is full of super cheap foreign cat's eyes -- the kind that some people throw away. I think I see one actual bumblebee in the $18 jar but it's mixed in with some newer ones. Basically, the majority of those marbles are not vintage. And the vintage marbles are mostly commons. I'll spend more than a dollar on a bumblebee because I like them so much and don't come across a lot. But I wouldn't drive two hours do do it. Keep looking. You'll find something worth jumping at.

I'm so glad I found this forum and to be able to get input from informed and helpful people like yourself. I'll post photos of some other marbles I've recently collected for ID soon. Thankyou !!
