StevenJustSteven Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Hey everyone, just needed some help with identifying some of these. Note: some of these I have supplied more than one set of photos for the same marble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 Might have better luck in separate posts or numbering but the red and yellow on black(?) Looks interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent1986 Posted December 10, 2023 Report Share Posted December 10, 2023 That last one Alley Flame is killer. I dug one of those in my backyard and it has to be my favorite in my collection. Nice group!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks interesting okay, yeah for sure I can number them or do separate posts. This is my problem I know, but i'm dealing with a financial struggle ever since covid start and it's all finally coming to a point on the 13th when my electric will be turned off to my home. I'm trying to identify some high valued marbles as I begin to regrettable start to sell my collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With this said, I also understand that this forum is not the place to air out personal matters or even to try and make it a market place. I respect this forum more than that and would never be disrespectful in that manner. My only intentions here is to fellowship with fellow marble collectors and find out the ID of some marbles that may or may not be valuable. All my selling endeavors I will take elsewhere, where it is more appropriate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 That red/yellow on black is very interesting and it is giving me some CAC vibes. I have not seen any marble like it before. The mostly yellow one is a Marble King--"Blended something". I am going to say Champion on the white/purplish on a clear based one. More opinions are needed on all. Good Luck! Marble--On!!

The little blowholes and the diving design do not call out as Vacor to me. There are also dimples which remind me of CAC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what's so cool in an CAC Electric Yellow; Stretching, and melding. 1 has a loop or tunnel, on the side. 2, also on side and 3. maybe but the bubbling is nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, there's no looping or tunnel-like traits on it. It's interesting, but I no see CAC in or on it. I am not a Vacor fan from several years back, yet I am sensing it may be an early, mid to later 1990s run of this color set. Yup, here's that thin yellow and pink. It's a Vacor Twister. Accordingly, it's an early run. Although, the OP's Twister has more class. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accordingly, it's an early run. Although, the OP's Twister has more class. Interestingly enough this was actually what I thought to. I had it with some twisters that I had. But over and over again in the corner of my eye this just stood out. Sitting in a pile of them it’s the odd man out. So many time when not even considering it and before I even knew CAC had one with similar colors I kept pulling this one out because it struck me odd only to find out each time that I’ve pull it out before. Like déjà vu. I don’t know if it’ll help but I have some Vacor twisters I can photograph it with. Just from having it in hand and it keeps grabbing my attention if not belonging is the most I have to stand on. The looping and stretching I haven’t a clue what that means but I enjoy reading it because I’m sure it’ll play a role in helping me once it all clicks together. I’ll say this of certainty though. If it is a Vacor twister, it is going to have to be a generation or two difference because from the Vacor twisters that I have, it just doesn’t belong.

Actually it’s exactly a salmon color imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is a Vacor---well I will eat some stinky cheese (which I like by the way). If you plan on selling, get some more opinions on this one—it is special. Marble—On!!

Yeah, this link on Worth Point ought to answer questions over doubt about the nature of Vacor De Mexico's tricky fake, look-a-like CAC marbles. There are some Vacor Serpents that have fooled many by impersonating Peltier Superman and a couple of other Peltier. For the most part, Vacor's swirl pattern is pretty much the same across the board' as long as you can keep up with each color set and all the names. But here we have the example where yellow thins out, gets a little stretching and molted blotches. Add to it where their pattern has gone askew and wa, la, we got a hybrid! Notably, Vacor's colors can shift to different shades or tones like red-brown and red to pinks or Samon as one example. Many of their basic colors shift regularly. . It occurs to me that, when we find stuff like it, a Vacor has morphed into a hybrid. Worth point is a thief. Always taking eBay's locked or protected images and then locking it exclusive to their own. I think, if ya gonna swipe stuff like that, the least can do is allow peeps to link it. But, alas, click the link because 4 good photos on it should leave no doubts, that, I'd rather hunt it down for days and days before stinky Eck! cheese gets under my nose. 37/64" VACOR 1ST RUN "TWISTER" MINT | #459949376 (worthpoint.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
