With all the fuss about the new Jabos, we should not overlook the interesting variety of quality marbles that Vacor has been producing. Here's some pics of some nicer examples. ...Roger

nice documentation, roger!

pics 10, 11, and (esp) 12 show mibs i haven't seen, and probably wouldn't be able to ID.

anyone know the time frame of the blue/black, and the 3 in the last pic?

the last 3 are "sunsets" - I bought them in a mesh from ToysRUs around 1996-7. The black/blue is from around 1998-9 I think. ...Roger

The blue/black is a Thunderbolt. I think Roger has the time frames pretty close. Great pics - now to put the names after the numbers on the 'home' page.

I added the names for the few that I know. If anyone has the names to the others, please let me know. Then I'll clean up the page, and add thumbnails, etc. Thanks, ...Roger

Yes TMM a light tent tent - as seen in the pics Laughing tho sometimes just use the inbuilt flash and natural light when poss. I like the light tent as I can use the manual setting to get a great depth of field whilst diffusing the light but as seen in my giant pics it is not always succesful Embarassed
