PittsburghMarbles Posted April 12, 2023 Report Share Posted April 12, 2023 Wow, some of those patterns look very similar to some Akro and MK patches… 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted April 13, 2023 Report Share Posted April 13, 2023 Yeah, the vintage-patch-looking Vacors fascinate me. And I still maintain there's a clown out there wearing the name "Master" because it fooled some of the bigger names in marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you ever replay a post in your head when you're not in a place that you can log on and fix it? This post should have said a Clownfish masquerading as a STUPENDOUS Master. Which is no big deal, right? Happens on eBay frequently, right? But this misidentified Vacor Clownfish happens to be enshrined on a popular collecting page. I can't remember the address right now but every time I run across it again I get grumbly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are super amazing!! I posted in the vacor facebook group to see if they have a name and no one knows so far. I'm going back tomorrow to get more nets and hoping I find more of them! Hobby Lobby has small nets for $1.27 (25 marbles) and larger nets for $2.99 (50 marbles). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
