Shamrock Marbles Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 On 4/9/2025 at 8:21 PM, stephenb said: “You can lead a horse to water…” Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but the Vazquez-Medina brothers scoffed at me when I suggested they were hand-made. They said there was never a hand-made marble produced in Industrias Cornejo, El Aguila or Vacor De Mexico. Thank you for watching the videos! They take an enormous amount of time to carefully edit and I always do my best to present the most accurate information. I will be doing an in-depth Atmosphere video at some point soon , and you can hear from them again. It’s on the list✔️ 🟢⚪️🔴 Thank you for the follow up videos. Many more questions… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenb Posted August 12 Report Share Posted August 12 It appears that you were led astray there doesn’t it ? At least you have the full story now. I hope I will be forgiven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not a very good response to this thread @stephenb, just be nice and do not come back like this at collectors that question you and your videos. You have backed up what we were all talking about--just different with the hand powered machines. The larger marble question was just never answered to my satisfaction. The Pyramids were never really mentioned. The Candies that you show are just not Vacor imho. This is not in any way considered to be an attack on you or your efforts. Any Marble collector with your influence must be held in check at some point and I am more than willing to do so in this case. I love your efforts and Vids as well-- Keep the skin thick. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The next video has additional info. John, it would be far from the first “sole” food dinner I’ve enjoyed, but I’ll still keep my feet planted at this point pending further potential, uh, dénouements.

bumblebee Posted Thursday at 07:08 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 07:08 PM Mine all have dents and as-mades on them, unlike all my other Vacor marbles, so clearly something was different in the production of Atmospheres. I just assume hand-gathered and machine rounded. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted Friday at 03:49 AM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 03:49 AM Just for fun. Here’s my funky Booty Crack Atmosphere. It’s ugly but it’s mine. Oh yeah. I got a positive ID here on the Board🔥 RAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted Friday at 10:27 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:27 PM @stephenb--his latest video on these were compared to "grubs"--love it. I just love a good "grubby marble". Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted Saturday at 03:53 AM Author Report Share Posted Saturday at 03:53 AM Thanks. I thought it was torch made until a few years ago when I got the confirmed Atmosphere ID here and the history of these. The size matched and I was stoked. I let one go and still have traders remorse. Maybe if I’m tactful and can sweeten the pot with a killer HTF marble or 2 I might be able to retrieve it🔥 RAR 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parmcat Posted Monday at 10:21 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 10:21 PM My good buddy @Fire1981 sent me over here with my marble. We need opinions as to weather this is an Atmosphere. I appreciate att feedback; 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always suspected that the bigger ones were sold in gift shops along with the weirder stuff that I show in these images--no proof yet. Marble--On!! @akroorka in your opinion, the picture with the 3 sizes of atmospheres, is the smallest marble 1" or smaller? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too Small--still cool. Once a marble hits the high marks for money it is often repeated--these Atmos are going very high. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marble--On!! The reason I ask, is, if the smallest atmosphere marbles WERE 1", then the larger ones in this picture have to be 3+ inches, and I can't find any posted that large.

These were all sold in mm sizes. One inch meaning the smallest, 1-3/4 the second and 2" the largest. Compare a 1-3/4" to a 2" and be surprised. Back in the day the when the 1" were sold @ToysRus there may have been an ad to send in and get a larger one, I have never seen this ad. I still believe it to be true though and would love to see one if any help is out there. The marbles were also (imho) sold at glass shops in the Old Malls.(no proof yet) This is where the paper/advetisement above in this post came into play with this type. I have measured true Atmos @just over 7/8' and just under 1-1/16". Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
