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.
-
That greenish color, especially, is not too uncommon.
-
It's a very common trait for Vitro, much less common on others, and I've seen it on lots of them from almost all time periods. The seams are often not directly opposite one another either.
