I'd keep that first one too - nice marbles.

Ed, ". . . various stages of burntness" - that's funny! Any chance your top one is Kokomo? And just so nobody thinks I invented the idea of green Sunsets . . . From AM-MM, p. 133: "Sunsets are those Rainbos with a transparent base sometimes sparkling with air bubbles - with red, orange, yellow, white or green ribbons. Sometimes the colors are reversed." hmmmmm . . .

I was hoping this topic would get more attention. Has anyone ever heard of a green sunset?

Nice mibs, Cheese. The first reminds me of the chalky one I posted elsewhere and there are some great ones in that group shot! I really like them with a good bit of clear glass.

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.

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?
