akroorka Posted March 13, 2022 Report Share Posted March 13, 2022 I know that I get long winded, just translate it as excitement or pleasure and I am good with that. Here are my best—or favorite for “My Sundays Best” today. Two Vacor de Mexico marbles. I am fortunate enough to have gained the trust of an overseas friend who sent me some of his very best. I cannot call the first one name wise which is 1-11/!6”, a “Toe Breaker”. Vacor Destroyers are described as having a “black opaque base” This one is obviously not opaque, even when held up to sunlight. It is very well covered and a real joy to look at and hold in hand, I could destroy a few things with this one, including toes, it may be a “retired” model of the” Destroyer”. The second one is a Vacor “Leopard” coming in at 7/8”, very well covered and eye candy for me. This model is a marble with a chromic finish which I could not really do justice with in an image. There is just the right amount of shine/chrome/wet on these to make them a beauty in hand. If you have not tried this one on for size I urge you to take a peek, there is not an image that will do them justice. I keep this one on my desk in a holder-it is just a beautiful thing to look at. Well represented/covered Vacor marbles are a great thing to collect in today’s world imho. No different than any other manufacturer’s product past or present, they have the good and the not so good---and the really nice ones as well. They have no doubt made the very best really big ones and I mean really big. Vacor de Mexico is producing the very best machine made marbles, in great bulk, in the world today. Take advantage before the end of another era. Sort these and be rewarded in the future. Marble—On!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Probably my last Sunday with this rare box set. So my Sunday best today. Maybe going to a new home tomorrow ? Japan machine made swirl marbles from 1930-1940 pre WWII. Japan was making machine made swirls as early as any USA company. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
