i think there are two poorly done shear marks on either side of this marble. It looks most like a Japanese game marble too me, a "purie or clearie".

At I'm still leaning Vitro mostly because of colors and the fact that I think it really could easily be one. I imagine they could get a little odd at 7/8". On top of that, it's getting near Santa time and I really just want to BELIEVE. 😄 Nice marble, regardless.

#3's a nice one too - basically, a Vitro Yellow Jacket on transparent instead of white is what I'm seeing, and I'm really enjoying looking at it too.

2. Most of all, I'd like to call these "mine". nuf' said. 🙂 I'm with Steph, but I want to add that this marble has the structure of an askew Type II Tiger Eye - correct colors too, IMO. I'm thinking a purple patch surrounded by two equatorial yellow yellow ribbons - imagine it in pic 3. Then, of course, the base has too much white in it. Or, maybe I'm wrong. ☺️

Definitely a nice couple of nice marbles in the first pic.

Why not a killer a killer Vitro? I'd keep that marble, myself. 🙂

Nice, Tommy. I look at the marbles and I look at the bag and I think, "Why not, it could well be legit - seems right to me". And then I think, "wow, almost looks too good to be true". And I really hope both are true.

Mmm . . . Buttermilk 🙂

This thread definitely needs to be here . . . And a special thanks to Edna @sissydear for sharing her collection!

This is great stuff, Jeff. Thanks a lot for posting it!

Did you look here? You never know . . .

I completely agree.

These are nice marbles. I really like the R/W/B one!

Let me preface that for you, Art. 😄 "Because I'm an OG . . ." This OG calls them Champions. 🙂

Type I Tiger Eyes are great marbles. The problem is that there's just no variation.

Nice Superior! @Chad G.

They have to be one of Heaton's best Cat's Eyes, and production models are not that easy to find, at least in my experience. @cheese Do you know about how many of this type came out of the digs?

@Carowill That's a great marble, Bill - love the drool!

I've always liked a red slag . . .
