Trying to ID some, but help needed

#1 .86 mint think MK, #2 .58 mint for hoping Pelt Bumblebee but probably a patch of some manuf, #3 .62 mint confusing-see one seam, all three opaque.  #4 near mint .62 translucent maybe WV swirl, #5 .72 hoping for Cork.

Well--You found your first Popeye--good job--Great find!!! It is the last one.

The orange and Black is a Vacor.

Thanks Akroorka, I was hoping that was so especially since I got a few others in that find that are similar.

Thanks Chad, the unbumblebee is a disappointment, but it sure is pretty.  Not sure I have ever heard of anyone purposely collecting Vacor, but some are very nice.

There is a big Vacor following, trying to get a bag of every vacor ever made, and some VHTF first runs.  I believe a certain rendering of the "Scorpion" is the hardest to find ?? Vacor has been around since 1934., there only competition now is China.

Well that is neat, I will have to study them also as I am sure I have some in the fast growing collection.

Vacor I/D. site, hope this helps bit. I have to use it continually just for the sheer number of differently named marbles they produced. This by no means I.D.'s all of them just the best Vacor (mega) site I know of.

Funny you should say that. I purposely got these from the mailperson today. I love Bengals.

Vacors are for the most part very affordable, you do not have to freak out about opening a net bag--not yet anyhow-- and they made some really fine marbles as well. If you really want to hunt high-end Peltiers, you had better stock up with some Vacor marbles. Images are one thing--in hand is another.

The 50mm marbles will be a collector marble of the future--if not right now---if you get a good one.

I collect Vacor Atmosperes and get then when I can afford them-- (a future post is coming).There was a lot of 22 on e-bay that recently sold for over $60 bucks a piece. The same seller had a nice bunch earlier this year that were not ID'd---I still could kick myself for not shelling out a bit more on that bunch.

Move on, or move over and forget--some are hard to forget.

Marble--On!!! and Vacor on as well!!

I've seen many atmospheres sell for over $100.oo this year and many, many for just under $100oo, yes, certainly getting scarce and HTF. Wish I had started collecting them long ago when they were only a couple bucks each ??

Thanks guys, you've made a believer out of me.  Will definitely keep an eye out.  Now if I could only find the good one I do have.
