Chad G. Posted February 6 Report Share Posted February 6 "Welcome to Marble Connection" All appear to be newer Vacor (mega) marbles made in Mexico, not seeing any vintage. MId to late 80's and newer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted February 7 Report Share Posted February 7 Any Macine made marble that you can hold in your hand like an egg is more than likely a Vacor. Vacor is the absolute Master of the larger sized marbles. I would not place any age on these. I like them--just beware of fold or seam marks--this woud be a negative as far as I am concerned. You have a nice group of Vacors here. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nickel Guy Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Missingmarbles ~ Nice marbles! The marbles you find from Mexico over 1 inch often have cold rolling marks. A company named Moon Marble even posts that this is the normal condition of the very largest which are up to 2 inches in diameter. Look up that place, click on Go Shopping and look at the link for Bulk Marbles that they are selling. I'll quote some of the description here for one of the big marbles . . . "Due to the way that they are made, machine made marbles have creases in their surface, which may be noticeable in this size." I have been very disappointed with them because they have not got any new inventory in a long time. Tsk Tsk Tsk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
