I'm pretty confident they're all Vitro, William.
-
I will add that the base glass on the marbles you posted here looks to be of much lower quality than the Veiligglas marbles I am familiar with.
-
The colors are unusual for Vitro, no doubt - they look more Akro, but I still think it's a Vitro because it looks veneered. Let me check to see if I have any similar.
-
Haha, and babies play with 10 kg boulders, I suppose. lol.
-
This conversation would be much simpler if we had big handfuls of verified examples of each type to compare. I really don't even know what the full range of variations in Veiligglas marbles is.
-
It's Vitro - a Conquereor or maybe a Dultite.
-
I wonder, do young children play with lighter wooden ones maybe?
-
I agree the first is a Vacor Liberty and I think there is a chance the other two are Asian.
-
They may have made some at Pennsboro but I think the vast majority of these types were made at St. Marys.
-
Yeah, I should have added metal to the list. 🙂 My understanding is that they a pretty heavy.
-
It's a tough question, Chris. To me, the striping in the marbles you show seems less smooth and flowing than the striping on most Veiligglas marbles I'm familiar with. Here are a couple of groups WInnie posted in 2016:
-
It looks close but seems too bright, at least in these pics.
-
From the St. Mary's location.
-
I agree
-
The really unique thing about this game is that you can place a bunch of balls in the chute and launch one or two balls at once depending on how many ejector balls you load in the chamber - a pretty cool demonstration of conservation of momentum. 🙂 -
A few remarkably clean Cairos . . .
-
Nice marbles, Dave!
-
e.g., Please begin the title of threads with dated documents with the date of the document stated as year-mm-dd followed by -- and a brief description.
-
This is such a good idea - I really want to see it work well. I'd be tempted to put the date format info right up in the forum header too. This from a guy who knows that nobody actually reads the syllabus until it's too late.
-
Man oh man, William. I really like the colors of that marble!
-
It's looking good, Steph!
-
Another thought, if dates are in the format 2022-01-30 (year-month-day) sorting will work better. Otherwise, separation by month will be in alphabetical and not chronological order.
-
Sounds good, Steph. Now, an explicit sticky note at the top to encourage proper formatting of titles might be helpful.
-
Thank you, Roberto - it does seem like there is plenty of room for clarification.
