  1. The fourth marble is a Tiger Eye Type II - the black-streaked white ribbon was likely meant to be all purple/black. The third marble that Rick mentioned would probably be in the "Elite" group.
  2. This shot is really giving me some strong Vitro vibes, and based solely on colors, I think you might have a killer Vitro in your hands, Gladys!

    .62 Vitro?

    It looks like a Vitro to me.
  4. It looks like the orange/red you might see on a Champion to me.
  5. Close kin though, no doubt.

    Anybody?

    I'll take all the thanks I can get - whether I deserve them or not. 🤣
  7. Man, you got a bunch of nice marbles but, for me, this one is the standout.
  8. I'd say 95% of transparent swirls are very difficult to identify with any certainty, every swirl-making company produced them.
  9. I'd say Vitro, cage- or horseshoe-style cat's eyes in the first two pics (Vitros in the last pic too). They're really the same type of marble, but if you look at 3 o'clock in your 2nd pic, you can see why some are called horseshoes.
  10. On the first pic, I'll say, Peltier, JABO, Akro, Akro, Ravenswood. The last one appears to be a very interesting Peltier. I'd like to see more pics of that last one but I think you'll need to back up a bit so your camera can focus properly.
  11. I've never been a big Akro fan but I do like that butter cream base glass . . .
  12. I think most, if not all, are Vitros but there might be an Akro in there too.
  13. I don't think it's vintage, either - maybe JABO.
  14. I'm pretty sure this one is Vitro - a relative of a Black-eyed Pea.
  15. Think, for instance, of a Master Tiger Eye with orange, white, and that baby blue instead of purple. It looks like the orange on this marble got burned to a more brown color. I think yours wanted to be the left one.
  16. It's kinda crazy to think that there could be 90 different color combos for Type 1 Tiger Eyes, using only the six colors shown. I wonder if the group of collectors here on MC, all together, could even find them all. Sounds like it might make a fun thread to see what we could come up with. Maybe we could do it over 6 weeks using a different top patch color each week.
  17. And you've got to admit, they really gave the machine-made onion skin idea a college try . . .
  18. Oh, we basically agree, Art. I was just suggesting if they could have blown this one out to the surface they'd have taken it. lol It would have made a mighty fine "cage".
