I do not but it sounds like a very fine and rewarding experience to me. "You do you" and if you ever need any help finding one--contact me by PM (Personal Message) I am always willing to help out a fellow collector--always.

The Nickel Guy Posted March 30 Report Share Posted March 30 I like those Vacors but I stay in the 9/16 to 1 inch range and sometimes get a bigger or smaller if the detail is still nice. They tend to lose eye appeal and have cold folds when they are really large in my experience. Coincidently for fun I just put a 10 pc graduating set of crystal clear marbles in a tiny jar but they might be from several makers. They look neat lined up. and . . . welcome to the Marble Connection forum. Stick around, it gets funner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really liked the 50mm size when they had bubbles they did get a lot of annealing folds though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted Tuesday at 12:38 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 12:38 AM Toebreakers! I might have 1 of those and a few next size down. I have a beautiful perfect 1 5/8th Glitterbomb but I assembled a nice Sampler 10 oz net bag and it is now part of that assortment. I thought I should post my silly clear set I was mentioning above. Getting bigger would be much easier than getting smaller. That tiny one is 8.8mm and the next size up are both from a Glasfirma Mexico net bags. I remember because they counted them as 1 marble of the contents I was supposed to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marblesguy Posted Friday at 04:45 PM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 04:45 PM Initially the Michael Angelo was on a transparent base …these would be very rare next runs Vacor made them with an opaque base here are first run 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marblesguy Posted Friday at 05:00 PM Author Report Share Posted Friday at 05:00 PM Fiestas had a transparent base with thin streams of orange, blue, yellow, and red Michael Angelos had a clear blue base with swirls of red, white, orange and yellow sometimes the blue and yellow would mix into green 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, in the past, "Michelangelo" had been considered, due to this clear base that you mentioned. However the op shows the typical fiesta colors 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
