Now I'm just going to goof with you . . . Maybe it would be a very rare and unusual Type II with a white patch on the bottom pole. lol
-
We could call it Type IB . . .
-
@wvrons It's been fun though! lol And why not a Type I with two equatorial ribbons of the same color - I know it would be unusual and doesn't really fit the definition of a Type I (because they are supposed to have two different color equatorial ribbons) but it sure seams like a possibility to me.
-
You're the one that taught me about offset seams! lol It's how some Vitros get the twist in them . . . if you look at the marble with the top patch up and just spin it on its axis like a globe, one seam will be like -- and the other like |. And what I think Rick is saying is that this marble has a pink top patch a white bottom patch and two baby blue equatorial ribbons on a clear transparent base.

@wvrons I'm back on track - my monitor was off. It's obvious to me now. Related question, but a little different: Have you ever seen a transparent-based Vitro with a colored top patch, a white bottom patch, and two equatorial ribbons of the same color? That's what I was driving at with the question about a Type I Tiger Eye with two equatorial ribbons of the same color.
-
So maybe what we have is a pink patch and blue equatorial ribbons veneered on a white base, which I guess just makes it a patch?
-
Oh, I know this Ron. My problem was that the top and bottom poles both looked white to me and there appears to be blue around the equator. But I just adjusted the color on my monitor and now it does look like there is a pinkish patch on the top pole.
-
Rick says it's veneered so if the top patch has color, and if the bottom patch is white (like it looks to me), would that make it like a Type I Tiger Eye with two blue equatorial ribbons? I may need to calibrate the color on my monitor.
-
No doubt, if the patch has color that changes everything - it looks white on my monitor.
-
If it's veneered, it's a newer style Whitie. If it's not veneered it's an older style Whitie. Either way, it's a Whitie.
-
It looks contemporary to me - seems a little too well done for machine made IMO.
-
Sort of like Schrodinger's Cat - all possibilities are in play at this point. 😀
-
I think Champion is a good possibility.
-
I agree with Vitro.
-
I agree, unfortunately the reflections make them pretty hard to see.
-
I'm thinking the front left may be Akro. The right front one doesn't strike me as MK but I'm not too sure what it is.
-
I'm thinking about Heaton.

Seems like a good possibility to me.

I wonder about Vacor possibilities for the back right one but I could see JABO for the others.
-
Not sure about the Cat's Eye but it does look foreign to me. I do think the middle one is Vacor but the right one is giving me a JABO vibe. Although, there are quite a few reflections on the marbles, which makes them a little hard to see.
-
I think so, Melissa. The back right looks like a TriColor and I think the back left and front right would be Royals.
-
I think the last one is an Oyster, Joep. But I am not sure about the green one - the Cucumbers seem to have more transparent green glass. Maybe @cheese will come around and have a look.
-
Very nice examples, Joep!
-
X3 - looks like they cooked it a bit.
