YasudaCollector Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 Sure! I love studying these guys. It seems like there's so much variety to them, especially in the older ones. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YasudaCollector Posted June 19 Report Share Posted June 19 Just curious, but I wonder if Stephen Bahr would be interested in exploring the topic of imperial marbles with the people he spoke to in his Vacor/El Aguila videos. Maybe, they would be able to associate certain color combos/glass types with Vacor? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkt Posted June 19 Author Report Share Posted June 19 That would be great.he was asking for questions on another topic forum but it seemed to be about a certain different type of marble so I was hesitant to ask about the vacor connection to Asian imperials and the imperial toy company’s sourcing of marbles from Mexico in the 1970’s.I wish he would.I am intrigued.his previous vacor YouTube videos are great 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See topic ‘vacor atmosphere questions to the owner’.I asked and my question was shot down as can be seen there.my humiliation continues… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marble--On!! that would be good.hard to tell from my photos but the biggest difference (is pretty clear when seeing them in person)is the white area on the vacor is much more muted than in the Asian imperials.still the general similarity is interesting to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
