Tinyplanets Posted January 16, 2022 Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Okay, so I am starting to understand seams and patterns and nomenclature for all the various IDs...lots to look for, not as simple as hey these colors = bumblebee or Superman. Patches and corkscrews and helmets oh my. Still, amazing how you will all just glance at these grouping and KNOW the pattern, name/make/model, and possibly manufacturer and dates/era. It takes time to develop all that knowledge and experience... I can see where it is fun but can be frustrating. I will do some reading up and go through galleries to better see...

Tinyplanets Posted January 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2022 Thank you! I am really loving going through some old groups and also looking through the many photos on here to learn. I’ve only cleaned with gentle soap and water and looked at mibs with a loupe. Are the hard cases with egg foam best for keeping them safe and separated?

Fire1981 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 I use the plastic containers that are used for storing beads and of course marbles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 I'm seeing quite a few modern Marble Kings in the initial photos. The ones with the same color patch on either end such as these: Also, I suspect these are modern Marble Kings, though the general pattern can also be found on somewhat older Vitros.

Steph Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 I think this group is a combination of Vacors and Marble Kings. Vacor with the white patches which connect in the middle. Marble King with the white patches on opposite ends and black around the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Agree w/ Steph, I'm thinking the first one is a mix, the next 5 are newer MK & the last 2 look like Vacor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
