Edward Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Searched for these but not sure if they are Vacor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 They are certainly newer but they could be Chinese or something else. No American company that I know of made marbles like these. And I can't imagine how you would figure out if it was Vacor or someone else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to me that Ron, our treasured marble collecting friend---RIP, described seeing this process with either Vitro or Jabo marbles as they were being made. It involved a spray process once the marbles hit the rollers. I agree--hard to tell the difference between the ones that were made by a variety of companies. Marble--On!!

Both JABO and Vitro (at Parkersburg). But this was to give the marbles a bit of metallic, or iridescent, sheen over their otherwise typical color/structure. As far as I know, neither JABO or Vitro made marbles that look anything like those in the OP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted June 11, 2023 Report Share Posted June 11, 2023 Look up Steely Torpedo on the Vacor site—very intense-I have never seen one. The OP are more than likely a version of the new age Vacor Meteor. Marble—On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
