Does Paden City date them as new or old?
-
Vienna? I would describe the base glass as a light honey. These aren’t on clear base glass.
-
Vitro or Pelt ?
-
I'll say it's not an Alley.
-
I think this might be a Vitro based on the ribbon configuration.
-
Oh yeah...it's veneered.
-
This one is 5/8ths. Any ideas ?
-

I have one but it's on a black base. As hard as I try to get light to pass through it won't. Your's is special. -
I used this term in a thread. This marble has 2 that I refer to as Horse Hair. They run parallel to each other and never cross. Is this something I made up or is it a trait. While I’m at it. Does anyone know the ID on the marble ?

Oh Snap ! I believe that is an Indian Maglite.🚀 -
This is an example of just one horse hair ribbon in the matrix. Sometimes there are more.
-
Horse hair are the thin hair like ribbons usually found in Vitros. They are usually found in the Matrix. The more I look at the 3rd picture I’m realizing how wrong I am.
-
Thanks Ron for the information. I really appreciate everyone’s feedback on this one.
-
Thanks Art. There are 2 Fruit Cocktails there. Pic 1-2 is one 3-4 is the other one.
-
I see Vitro Horse Hair in pic 1 and 3. That’s a trait I look for in Vitros and I think it’s in those pics.
-
The real deal.
-
Here we go !
-
Pic 3 looks like to the coolest helmets I’ve seen. Cool as Steve McQueen.
-
So back to Gladys marble. I’m not trying to highjack her thread.
-
Hey Art ! Are those from Wisconsin ?
-
Could you post a UV picture of your marble ?
-
Alternative sorting systems?

I have bunch of these. They are medical styrofoam trays that are used for the test tubes they draw blood in. I’ll use these and try to put together groups. Maybe a tray of corkscrews or slags. They will stack on top of each other as long the marbles are close in size.
