I've never seen one like it. Have you?
-
Okay, now I'm sure, it's a Vitro King!
-
It is handy, I used it fairly often in my past life. lol
-
It'd be interesting to know what the high bidder's highest bid was. I think they got a deal, and I'll bet they do too.
-
A single 5/8" marble weighs 0.19 oz according to this site. That's about 84 5/8" mibs/lb.
-
It's a little hard to tell from the pics if they're bocce balls or boulles. Boules aren't perfectly round - they're ellipsoids.
-
Heaton would be about the only other possibility, and I'm not really seeing it.
-
It's apparetly even more messed up than I thought. lol.
-
My only hesitation would be that it's some kind of a newer MK that I am not familiar with. That long seam I see in your new pics makes me wonder a bit. Imagine a white patch where the open area is in your last pic and the blue pushed up into ribbons, and you've got an MK patch and ribbon. In fact, I am now thinking it's not Vitro at all - sorry.
-
How many Vitros do you see that have two same-colored polar patches and two white equatorial ribbons on a transparent base?
-
Just what I thought, it's very unusual. Now I wonder about MK possibilities.
-
Why not a twisted All Red with yellow and red patches?
-
What would you call Gladys' marble, Ron? Two blue patches and two white equatorial ribbons? Here it is:
-
They look like Pelts to me.
-
It seems to be on transparent base-glass, a back-lit pic would confirm that.
-
A weird Peltier is what I'm thinking.
-
Yes, I think 7/8" is the biggest I've seen. Although the structure on the larger ones can get a little wobbly compared to the 5/8" mibs.
-
JABO, Akro and Peltier all made some, as far as I know. And I am pretty sure they have been made in Asia too. It sort of depends on how you define "logo marble".
-
Cool mibs. The first is an Alley, the second looks like an odd, likely dug, Akro Liberty, and the third is a Vitro All Red with a twist.
-
Yes, you were, but I think the marble you showed, which is not an Anti-Blackie, may be even more interesting!
-
Looks like white over black from here but you'll have to decide. lol. Any AV in the black?
-
If it's white on black, it would be a Skunk. What is the base like? Can you get light through it?
-
Happy Ground Hog Day--show your best from the ground

There's a bit of AV in each one.

Nice Joep, you put a lot of time into those displays!
