William Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago Could you possibly get some better lighting for the pics? The colors might be a little more identifiable otherwise...looks interesting... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emuslyfox Posted 7 hours ago Report Share Posted 7 hours ago It’s interesting that it almost looks matte. Based off the color combination, my instinct says JABO/DAS. Let’s see what the pros think 🤔 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted 5 hours ago Report Share Posted 5 hours ago This looks like a Vacor Hurricane IMHO🔥 RAR 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted 4 hours ago Report Share Posted 4 hours ago Actually it looks frosted or like a river find. Maybe it was tumbled? I also thought it might be a Hurricane but there are several streams of glass bundled together rather than an opaque base with ribbons over it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of Vacors "Frosted Marbles" were not marketed in the USA--Is this one of them?? Lets call in @Mojo he has close ties with @Andy McLaughlin from Alaska, who wrote the book on Vacors. Andy is very busy in the wild, Fishing Hunting and--well collecting Vacor and other marbles.--Maybe Mojo has some thoughts here. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emuslyfox Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Not Matte! 🤦♂️ That’s what I get for not studying those vacors! Lol. Still a really cool marble. I learn something new on here everyday! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flicker Posted 2 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 2 hours ago I do remember one thing someone had told me (a while ago that has stuck in my mind) is that it's an "African" of some make, which I don't recall. I looked up Vacor Hurricane on images searches and I did find one that was on eBay (but no longer available to view). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago African ? Can you shed some more light on that? I’m not familiar with any African marbles. Do tell 🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have little doubt that there are some folks making marbles in Africa some place--just for us in the USA at least------- Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted 1 hour ago Report Share Posted 1 hour ago Flicker has a good memory. There were Hurricanes that were packaged for Europe with the name Africa on the header. Here are two pics of the Don Juan bag (Netherlands) and a very rare Mega bag with the Africa name that "slipped through" the Guadalajara "checkpoint" that Pete was able to get prior to the 2003 time frame when I bought it from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
