That is really interesting, it seems like an "end of cane" or "error cane" marble, but I don't think I've ever seen another marble from a cane like that - unusual for sure, and very cool! @davesnothere That blue jelly is very nice!
-
Jumpin' Jimminy, Tommy, you found a dandy!
-
Thanks, Art. I think Vitro's very first Cat's Eyes had four wavy vanes but the vast, vast, majority of those I have seen are a single color. I think the majority of Vitro hybrids are 5 vanes, at least. And the glass, structure and color of this one has me leaning very hard toward Heaton.
-
The OP might be a Heaton . . .
-
I have a bunch of these and can't figure out what they are.

This is an original MK patch and ribbon style. I usually reserve the "newer" designation for those that were made later and have poles of the same color. -
Nice big Master. Quite a few were sold in Alox packaging.
-
These are sometimes referred to as Mt. Fujis. They were primarily packaged with Chinese checker games.
-
Very cool marble, Melissa!
-
Cool mib, I once found a cache of similar ones with a few different colors in the clear - I'll have to see if I can find them.
-
The B® is nice but that larger one is a dandy!
-
More Vintage Shooters - Vitro, Pelt, Mk etc

That's a nice bunch of marbles - some very cool Vitros in the group! -
That's an excellent array!

Imagine taking two colored balls of clay and mushing them together into one larger ball. You should be able to see the interface between the two glass globs on a marble like you would see in the two-color clay orb. Many times there will also be a slight create at the interface
-
I think it's a nice Multicolor Rainbo.
-
Sorta like a Fruit Cocktail but . . . ?
-
The first marble you posted is a slightly odd Type III Tiger Eye (check for AV in the green, I've seen it on these types), and the second is a nice TriLite. In the next group, the blue/orange single might be Akro. Those in the big group look mostly like Vitro Helmets. At least to me. 🙂
-
I agree with, Art, it's a pretty Alley but not a SSC.
-
Good eye, Charlie - its an Akro.
-
The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...

Okay, now its serious. Looks like fun to me! -
@Tommy If yours had more brown on it I would be more comfortable calling it a Strawberry Shortcake. But its a great Alley - maybe more related to the corals. Can you imagine changing that white base to transparent green? Wow.
-
@VaMarbles It can be a challenge but its important to make sure the photos accurately represent the marble in hand, especially for ID purposes - you can see its the same marble, its just just remarkable how different it looks in the two different settings. I think you'll have to decide if it might be (photos 2) or if its not (photos 1 & 3) a SSC. 😃
-
Does light pass through the base of the left one? If so, what color is it?
-
I am with Fire - it looks like a JABO Classic to me too.
-
What a difference a photo makes - this looks way closer!
