bumblebee Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 If you are familiar with those 9/16" vivid Vacor Dragon-like marbles that seem to show up wet mint among other Vacors but are considred by many to be torch made, then you will find this listing of a 10/16" Leighton to be uncannily similar in color: https://www.ebay.com/itm/10-16-OUTSTANDING-AQUA-BASE-LOOP-LEIGHTON-EY-OXBLOOD-PONTIL-MARBLES-GP-MINT/223112216398 I've attached images of the mystery 9/16" mib below. What a fun hobby this can be! (For future proofing, here's a partial archive link to the eBay listing since eBay now seems to remove many of its completed listings: http://archive.is/yKI2t ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bumblebee Posted September 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2018 Here's a recent auction that sold a couple of these in a Vacor group. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Marbles-Vacor-Michelangelo-Swirls-Lot-W-/192621542984?nordt=true&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.m43663.l10137 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
