Here's a little better shot of my "moon" key ring marble . . .
-
Nice 🦗!
-
Thanks, Stephen. Vitros and Kokomos are about the only marbles with cut lines that I actually collect.
-
Good stuff! Thanks for sharing it.
-
I've had these two on my key chains for years and years.
-
I'd consider the German striped transparent a type of slag. And I've seen this sort of "damage" on a number of old marbles. I think it may have been intentionally done with a file or blade of some sort to produce a thumbnail hold so the shooter could get better 'english' on their shots.
-
Had to ask, since these are all about 11/16".
-
I believe you, Rick. It's like Art said, that transparent color is notoriously tough to capture. Putting it on a yellow background with good lighting might help.
-
Cool, I never knew that.
-
Boy howdy, Stephen, these are great mibs! I like the old ones with a lot of transparent glass - great examples. I'll bet the 3rd one is a little oversized- 11/16"?
-
So . . . about two bucks and change? ☺️
-
Good luck with that, Art. I'll be hoping it all goes splendidly, and that you have a quick recovery!
-
Similar maybe, but I see a good bit of transparent orange in Art's. I have some like yours and as I recall they are opaque. And these pics actually look pretty good compared to others I've seen, so whatever you're doing now, keep doing it.
-
That's where I'd of had it too.
-
Looks like a German striped transparent to me.
-
I think newer but not too new. I have no real idea of when it was made though - maybe 1990s-2000s?
-
Teamwork is good!
-
Ha, I didn't catch the size!
-
Flat side or not, the first one is great!
-
They look like newer MKs or maybe foreign, at least to me.
-
Why not a big Vitro gone wild? I see two cut lines.
-
I didn't know they made them this big. Is it an 80s marble?
-
They're not too uncommon for an old Vitro.
-
Third mib in the first row and 6th mib in the 3rd row look unusual to me. And the yellow on white are the least common of the common white-based ones.
