      Hi Randall. This is the first in a series of shorts that show some of the more interesting Vacor De Mexico mixed net bag examples from the current “Traditional Marbles” net bags stock with the round yellow header. Many of these examples are not company marketed names, but informal nicknames by collectors from the “Vacor Marbles Fan Group” on Facebook.com. I’m not sure of the names of the collectors that named them. I haven’t participated in the nicknaming but I think it’s a fun Idea to share them here. These nicknames are saved and documented by Andy Mc Laughlin, author of “For The Love Of Vacors” book, several of these examples are featured in the second edition of the book.
