Madcap Laughs Posted May 16 Report Share Posted May 16 (edited) EDIT: I WAS TOLD THESE MIGHT BE MODERN ASIAN? ALSO: PHOTOS WERE TAKEN IN THE DESERT, HENCE SAND ON THEM. LOL. Hello. I have already asked in a marble ID group on Facebook and received no response on either, so I thought I'd ask about these two shooters here. They might be basic, but I'm just not good with IDing and I did use Google lens but got several answers both. Thank you.

Al Oregon Posted May 17 Report Share Posted May 17 They don't look Asian but what size are they? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 The top definitely looks modern. I would have thought Mexican. But I do know there are now some Asians which resemble the Vacor de Mexico lline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 The rwb one--- Vacor “Patriot”, “Rehilete” or “USA”, Those “USA” Vacors are my pick for your marble. @Mojo , @Joe2 and @Melissa have a great handle on Vacors and I hope that they show up to give you a definite answer. The yellow on white---is a wvs imho—I will call it a Champion until corrected by @cheese or @Chad G.—perhaps @Ric will chime in ( I wish that he would--) Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted May 18 Report Share Posted May 18 These both look like Mid-Atlantic marbles to me and I wanted to comment that a couple days ago but I am not aware of shooter size marbles from them. Anyone? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojo Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Vacor Patriot on the first one Some Vacor have a Patch variant and a swirl variant The second one ill go for an old fashioned but more opinions on that one are also welcome , swirls on an old fashioned mostly are thicker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 I agree with Mojo on the second being a (very weak) old fashioned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Any glow under UV light? The actual size would help when you're able. Shooter size gets used for most anything 3/4" or more these days but if they are exactly shooter size which IS 3/4", then my answer will be different than it would be if you tell me they are 1 1/8".

Steph Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 Old Fashion is a style name of a Vacor de Mexico marble which looks very much like vintage swirls. Made from 1996 to 2003.

I mentioned that to someone else but not to you. Sorry. I'll be home on Thursday so I can measure them then. Thanks. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted May 22 Report Share Posted May 22 Right I saw that, which is why I said "when you're able", knowing you weren't able at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
