feelnmarbleous Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 This thread is going to be dedicated to Vitro's since there always over looked, and considered Common (well most anyways) funny thing is you hardly ever see Tri Lites or Elites, or Superiors, or any of the Higher End Vitro's for sale on eBay unless there Parrots or Commons. I know this has been covered before, probably ten million times, but i wasn't around then to join in on the fun and learning experience. So is everyone a closet Vitro collector ? What ones are HTF ? What ones are RARE ? What are they worth ? What about Vitro Aquamarines ? How common/htf/rare are they, and what would be the value ? Does anyone on here have some they would like to share pics of ?

ann Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 This is a promising thread! I know very little about Vitros, and have only 2 (nice) parrots and 2 8-finger thingees. Let's hear it! Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feelnmarbleous Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Edna that thread was awesome, i really enjoyed it, ive probably read and looked over it 100 times, but there wasn't much on the high end Vitros, like Buttermilk's, Aquamarines, Superiors n stuff, so i though why not give it a go ! I hope to see some more types of Aquamarines and Variations. Dani is that a Buttermilk in there ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feelnmarbleous Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Well knowing that the shooters are probably pretty rare, what about the 5/8's size ? are they HTF to or just flat out rare ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 they run between 40 and 50 sometimes more depending on the patterning and amount of buttermilk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in a couple of places. Don't know how that happens. Edna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Buttermilk shooter - gift from Ron Shepherd, .83 inches some of the 5/8th inch in the box may be buttermilks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 ok kevin... please excuse all the light reflections, and yeah there's a couple duplicates here, cuz I grabbed my favorite ones, and well, didn't really pay attention past the world what ones I was grabbin! funny the 'favies' stay that way. there are 2 buttermilks, one is a 1 inch .... hey does anybody have a 3/4" and bigger helmet they want to part with? only have a handful and would like more...

feelnmarbleous Posted August 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Just awesome mibs there Dani, and Edna your Vitro collection is flat out amazing! Nice pic Winne, she always takes such good pics. Hmm, 3/4 Helmet i don't personally have one, i'm guessing there Rare, ive never really seen to many of them, are the opaque faced ones Harder To Find ?

zaboo Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 not sure on the HTF factor on the opaques... we have some big ones, having not studied that, I cannot answer, but I am betting they too are a rarity. the big helmets are really awesome in hand!

Kingfisher Posted August 22, 2009 Report Share Posted August 22, 2009 Buttermilk shooter - gift from Ron Shepherd, .83 inches some of the 5/8th inch in the box may be buttermilks. Hi Edna, Is the entire box buttermilks, or just the one marble? Seems like the mibs in the box are different shades of white or cream color...
