It's a lot like the 15/16" one I gave to Buddy several years ago:

A few more Conqueror types:

Honestly, I am surprised you were able to put the set together in 2 years - some of the best marbles Peltier offered, it's really great!

I do love Vitros, and there are a lot of nice ones in this thread! Baby Neons? There are distinct coral and orange colors in the caps - did the colors separate on the big ones? I think so.

Okay, Ann, it's been haunting me and I really couldn't take it anymore. Here are a few more from the same bag . . . http://i1355.photobucket.com/albums/q711/a1mibs/Vitro/Ric700_zps5q43sv7v.jpg

Thank you. The big one is most likely from The American Marble & Toy Manufacturing Co, most would not call it a Bennington - American stoneware, perhaps. Their marbles lack the multiple eyes seen on most German Benningtons. They also used a distinctly different blue color and the finish, overall, is notably different. The pink one looks somewhat similar but I think it's probably German - a Pink Bennington. There are at least three more AM&T Co. marbles here. The top corner marbles are American earthenware - a different beast, probably made elsewhere. I am not too sure about the middle right one, although I think it might be German. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Please see below.

Couple of more bags.

More examples:

Marx Merrymakers Mouse Band (1931)

Nice ones! Some of my favorites too, especially if they're translucent.

That one of Brian's is a beautiful color, and the next is legendary. These are a bit simpler. But there's still some pink on one, at least (I think the big one is 1 3/4").

Does the base glow under UV?

Really nice Vitros and a great latticinio! Staying with pink . . . Master, I think.

Wow, nice caged horseshoe Jeeper. One of the coolest big ones I've seen!

Love the folk art Mikey! How big are they? As another sage said, "They're great"!

I calculate really close to 5/8" too, Steph, and I attribute any significant error to that little nub. I also agree, the volume of spheres is tricky to visualize. Good thing we have math, huh?

I don't think Peltier - Alley or Champion, perhaps.

Kind of Peltish colors but the construction . . . ? A few more shots might help.
