Vacor Serpents vs. Peltier Superman---Show your best for the new collectors.

[akroorka]

I have not seen a post about these two for awhile so here goes.
I have no Peltier Superman to compare---Only one that is questionable—lol.
The Vacor Serpents came/come in many variations/runs and fooled many into thinking that they may be Peltier Superman marbles in the past twenty five years or so.
I hope to see you’re best side by side for the collectors that may be new to this hobby/addiction.
If you are like me—just show what you have.
I am showing a “fixed” image and a more natural image of some older Vacor Serpents.
(Note, Vacor serpents were sold as a “Tumbled” version that looked like sea glass-these are quite rare)
Just be careful and of course 
Marble—On!!

I have Vacor serpents that are the exact same color as a Pelt & visa versa so "don't" go by color alone, Her are 2 Peltier NLR Supermen with the classic ribbon and seam pattern. Pelts can also come w/ a swirling pattern (yin-yang) so time & experience are your best friends.  (L to R)  5/8ths & just a hair short of 11/16ths. Excluding size difference these 2 are nearly twins w/ only a few slight differences in the ribbon structure.

That's right, Tommy.

Here’s a pic of what I think is a Superboy, has a bit of orange but no prominent yellow.

5/8”

Side note: My s/o calls this the “bacon marble” haha

These are dangerous Serpents. I think some people have paid Pelt Superman prices for them.

I see what you mean Gladys,
They do not look like “Volcanos”—maybe “Serpents” that missed out on the yellow. These big Vacors seem to miss out on coverage more than the smaller Vacors do.
Marble—On!!
