Thanks for the history lesson, Ron. It's really interesting. It seems like the Vitro Agate brand had a slow decline to oblivion. Am I right to assume that Henrey Fisher was Art's son?
-
You have a lot of great multicolor pieces, Ron. And thanks for the info - it didn't show well in the pic but there is definitely a metallic sheen on the blue inside the lid of the powder I showed.
-
I don't know if Cairo made a black (purple) marble or not but if they did it wouldn't surprise me if it looked a bit like this one.
-
I discovered that Bauman refers to the middle one as a "Mist" and says they are "scarce", which might explain why, unless I missed one, it's the only one shown in this 17 page thread. Who knew?

The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

This surely counts as score! The marbles are great and will be really fun to sort. I'll be interested to see the contents of that Big Dime box (open it carefully). And those target games are super fun - don't be afraid to try it, they are remarkably durable. -
Wow, Ron, thanks for doing the work I know this took! What a bunch of great examples - a post for the archives, for sure.

That's a great find, Sherry. What size is it? -
I think it's a JABO peewee.
-
I think this is Vacor Morgan. And the green one with yellow and orange is probably a Dragon - not Turtle. Sorry for the mix-up.
-
Grenier's have ground faceted pontils, while Navarre's are melted. At least that is my understanding.
-
I think the bubbly black ones may be Bogards.
-
It might be Navarre, but I think it could be an earlier German.
-
Given the size, I'd lean Alley too, but I certainly see what Roberto is looking at as well - it'd be an unusually big one though.
-
Nice pieces, William. I like them best when they let a little light through!
-
Very nice mibs, Brad! The sideways pics are a little odd though. You and William starting a club or something? lol.
-
Nice, Art, a marble for everybody - thick and full coverage on one side, thin and sparse coverage on the other. Myself, I like the last two views.
-
Me too.
-
#s 1 & 5 are Vacor. #6 looks Asian, #3 is from a JABO investor's run, #4 might be Vitro but could use another view or two, and not sure about #2 - more views might help.
-
One of my favorite pieces . . . I think it's a powder. It's about 3 1/2" in diameter and 2 3/4" tall.
-
The smallest is 7/8"
-
I don't think most people would say it's three colors.
-
I forgot to ask . . . does anyone know what the middle one is called?
-
Wow, That's an beautiful marble!
