A big stuffed Vitro . . .

Happy Sunday!

Nice mibs, Joep, lot's of oxblood - some might be from the Dark Knight run (2008).

Satntas are 6-ribbons - 2 white and 1 red reversed on each side of the marble.

That's a nice group. I like the variety of designs and colors. I would think the ones with lines running through the designs are less common. Did you find them all together or put the group together over time?

Excellent, thank you very much for the link. I looked high and low and never came across this page. They are sort of quirky and I like them quite a bit. Oh my, those are beautiful! And as far as I am concerned, you can come here and "show off" anytime. I appreciate the knowledge you share and I love seeing these pieces - thank you so much for showing them!

@akroorka That's a really cool bag and about as nice as one could hope for. What a great find!

Oh wow, okay, it's a really nice marble and I apparently misinterpreted it badly.

Thanks for the input, Alan, I do value it. I found all three of these together and after looking at some of his 1990s work I think they are all likely Fine's. They are very well done. The control displayed really is remarkable. And I agree with the Marble Pie, to have a slice in the marble-topped covered dish would be a dream come true. I imagine it would command a tidy sum if, as you say, you could ever find one. Thanks again for your input.

Maybe Champion?

Nice marbles, Bill. Why not a Green Raven for the first one?

I've been using a Sony DSC-T200 for many years and I know others who like them too. They are not made anymore but you might be able to find one on EBay cheap and you can still find batteries too, at least the last time I checked.

Contemporaries, all about 15/16" or just under, not signed but I am thinking Jody Fine . . . I'd be interested to hear what others think, especially @Alan .

I agree.

Blue Raven on the right. I think the left may be Alley - not a Red Raven, regardless, IMO.

The blue on may well be Akro too. And it looks like the only real Peewee is the first one. A true Peewee will fit through a 1/2" diameter hole - one iota over and it won't.

I like postcards too. I have the one old colored one with two boys shooting marbles, it's postmarked 1910.

I need to read more. Peewee Vitros are rare. Are these all not a hair over 1/2"?

Left might be Vitro. Akro for the others, IMO.

In all cases, I think there are two equatorial ribbons (or patches) of one color around the equator - not seeing that here.

Really dark and hard to see much. What does it look like back-lit?

Seems like it would be missing the "stem"?

The ones some folks call "Figure Eights"?

No idea - they look hollow, are they? Seem kinda big for bingo and it's interesting that there appear to be six impressions on each. Children's Alphabet toys maybe?

Here's a suede marble bag with a very similar design - wouldn't surprise me if it was the same manufacturer.
