Shooters ID Help Please


Marbleized

Recommended Posts

I would appreciate any help in identifying some of the shooters that I have. I think all of my larger marbles have come from jar finds or as freebies, so I'm not expecting to find out that I have "winners", but I like trying to figure out what they are.   

1. This is a nice bubbly translucent red marble with a white and tan ribbon. I don't see any seams, just a slight as made crease that goes down the "u" in the first pic. Size is .86". I couldn't find an exact match on the Vacor site, but it looked close to a couple.

2. this looks like a marble king. The blue base is quite dark and has a black ribbon going around the middle. the ribbon on one half is wider than the other half. The seams are ever so slightly curved.  There are no patches. Size is .88".

3. This one has a "V" that looks too good to be true. I'd like to say Vitro, but I don't see any seams. So maybe Jabo. The size is .84".

4. This one has a skim milk looking base with swirls of browns and orange.  Size is .79". I'm thinking it's a WV swirl. 

Thanks for helping me, in advance.

I think Vacor on the first one, although CAC "bloodies" have a brown streak next to the white.  I think the cracks in the white stripe say Vacor. The next one could be a pelt "bruiser" , If so not too common, especially that big. I think you're right about the Vitro and the WV swirl. But I'm usually wrong.

When I was telling my husband about the "bruiser" marble he asked me what color it was.  I told him, "black and blue". There was sudden pause as we both turned to each other.  Then we both chuckled because we made the color and name connection that was staring us in the face all this time.
