Nice lips, the opal kiss is great. Here's a decent pair of lips from Vitro.

Not sure about that one, Bo. Here's a big overstuffed Cat's Eye.
-
The top one is a Vitro Conqueror, the middle is a West Virginia Swirl, maybe Heaton or Cairo. The bottom one looks like a game marble of some sort. It's often hard to tell who made them, since most companies did. I do wonder if it shows an opalescent glow when backlit though.
-
Nice, I am especially liking this one!
-
I agree, some nice handmade marbles in this thread!
-
Here's a good CAC Snotty:
-
I was gonna say, you might find them, but they're not exactly common on Vitros. 🙂
-
A bit like Master's attempts at machine-made onion skins . . .?
-
To be fair, "English Whispler" is in the title of the thread, but I have heard the name before - not sure where it comes from though. Hopefully, someone will have more to say about them.
-
I believe they are called English Whisplers not sure about provenance . . .

These are pretty cool too, similar deal. I am thinking Asian but . . . any thoughts? Black stripes on the surface, and the vast majority of the bubbles are attached to the vanes - kinda cool.
-
I may have asked about these before but I would like to throw this fly back in the water. What are your thoughts on these? My inclination is Asian but . . . ? There are 5 of mibs here, three views each, in columns.
-
AND . . . . I happen to have a few great ones around 5/8" . . . come on Bill, show us some Sparklers. I have seen one somewhere, might have been yours . . . do you have a pic you could show?
-
Thanks Tommy, this one is Akro. Hint, hint . . .
-
Masters can have some good lashes too.
-
I agree, thanks for the post - love the bubbles!
-
The one with the red/orange on it looks like some kind of hybrid Vitro All Red. I am not sure about the marble in the OP. Since the base glass is not transparent, it can't be a Vitro Tiger Eye variant unless its Type IV, and I've never seen a Type IV anything like it. It does bear a resemblance to some big JABO Classics from the 2000s and at 1" . . . ? -
Well at least you dredged up a good one! 👍 Nice marble too!
-
Biscuits & Red Eye Gravy, I think, like Ron said.
-
I see it now- the "black patch" is actually amber base glass. I'm all in with Master now. Check out the marble lower left here:
-
There are some great marbles in this thread!
-
This is a tough one. I am confident it is an Akro or a Master though. At this point, I could go either way, but I am actually leaning Master now. Maybe I'm just not used to seeing Master's with a black patch?
-
I think they're both Peltiers - the right one looks like it has flipped red and white ribbons on opposite sides of the seams up near the pole.
-
There is a resemblance, for sure. Gladys, Is the base glass for these two marbles transparent? Does it look like the color is primarily on the surface of the marbles? If so, I would go with Vitro, and it would be a very nice one, for sure.
