bonniemarbles Posted August 19, 2020 Report Share Posted August 19, 2020 Some Vacor marbles have slipped into my collection behind my back when bidding on a bottle with marbles I really wanted- some (I.E. The Destroyer) I quickly donated to Goodwill, a few have stayed. Because of Steven B's video I have a name for the ones I will always keep: the orange , black , yellow & white 2 are called Sunflowers, & the one without the yellow is Halloween. I especially like how the top Sunflower crisscrosses it's self, & from front & back almost looks like a cats-eye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I have some Vacor that also made it into my collection the same way, when I bought a can or jar or two there where always some Vacor's in the mix. I saved all the mint one's, now I save anything mint. There is a dwindling supply of even what used to be the most common mib. I still have my favorite's but won' turn up my nose to any nice mint marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonniemarbles Posted August 20, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I apologize, I got the names mixed up, I ment to say, without the white is the Sunflower- the pictures don't do the marbles justice, you can get lost in the twists & turns inside them. I know what you mean about the marble supply. I've never seen any at a thrift shop or yd.sale, & the prices have seemed to have gone up just since I began to collect them since last Aug.

Chad G. Posted August 20, 2020 Report Share Posted August 20, 2020 I like the swirl's in them also. I also like the red devil's, Michelangelo and serpentina because of their semblance of a superman. a very few of them are exactly the color's of a pelt. just not the NLR or miller type swirling, both are very distinct.

bonniemarbles Posted August 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2020 Another I've kept one of is the Cardinal- no swirls, but the clearest, vibrant red & cardinal beak yellow. I like Steph's sunburst, but none of them have followed me home yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
