A big handful

[Chris Parson]

Just came home from the second hand store with some random marbles. Some Vacor, a couple of cat’s eyes, maybe a wirepull of sorts.

Neat bunch, the green and brown one with the blow-hole looks cool!

I agree. I’ll post that in the ID section. 

 

I cant help liking the confettis. (Especially on my girlfriend’s screen print)

The confetti marbles are very nice and I have not seen such with the confetti on the exterior like these, almost Barney Rubble like. There are a few other Vacors in this lot but---

The top three starting at 12:00 going counter clockwise, look like a Peltier Ketchup and Mustard, an Akro Corkscrew and either another Corkscrew or a Peltier Tiger.

Nice mixed lot for sure,

Marble—On!!

I like that Pelt Tiger, Chris...fully expect to see it next Tuesday 👍

I doubt any of them are American made. That big green/brown cat eye-looking one appears like it might have some AV in the green though.

Bacon (read that as Vacor using autospell)  has made great improvements replicating American classics…🤬🤬🤬

@akroorka and @William
It's just like Ric and Schmoozer say; These are most definitely not American marbles, which you by the way never come by here in Sweden. (Side note: I think I'm the only one in Sweden who owns Heaton marbles) I really appreciate your comments and together we learn. If it's one thing I have learned it's that Vacor make great "replicas". It's like when I found two Bumblebees and just knew they had to be Vacors because nothing else was really possible. It's both a blessing and a curse to have a narrow selection.

I checked but no. But these two have some kind of glow going on.

I would like to see a couple of more shots of that green and brown one with the blow-hole (just to the right of the confetti you have circled) - for some reason, it's captured my attention.

I really like the pounded tray you've got the marbles in too!

You got it!

[Ric]

I still think this is Vacor but this one has a little something extra going on, IMO.

That sort of a tongue with a little fold-back is none too common on these, at least the ones I have seen. It's a cool mib!
