Not the same color as ones in this post but here is a picture of the Bogard cat's-eyes that Ron was talking about - from his display at the recent Texas Show.

From the pictures, I would not call them cagedcat's. They do look like some oftheBogard's - they weren't all clean vanes - many 'messed up' types.

Joe - it looks like you can find the video on the Dirty Jobs site. Here's the link to the 2009 videos and the marble one (when I looked just now) as the third up from the bottom on the right hand side of the lists. http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/dirtyjobs/episode/episode-tab-02.html

Almost looks like a messed up nine vane and other cage style cat's-eye - neat marble!

That is sad to hear. I had also heard that he was ill.

Thanks for another great show report and pictures. It's neat that Diane likes to play with the kids and thinks of them with the toys.

Vey nice! What is the one in the upper right in the left picture - some kind of Pelt?

Nice Cub Scout - the large ones always seem to have more white showing.

Here's a picture of Gutta Perchas that Galen took at he Las Vegas Show this past November

Thanks - my 21st for the third time...!

The better pics make it seem pretty feasible. Now the question is 'is it pink or peach?' They amde both. Here's a pic of mine from a few years ago - pink on left and peach on right.

The brighter colored ones seem to be found in Wales, Camel and some of the Sun Brand bags out of Japan plus a few other miscellaneous bags.

I see some that look like Ravenswood pattern but...? Also see some Champion/Alox type marbles (maybe).

Why don't you email him instead of posting this to the board?

Interesting pattern!

I lean to Akro (tie-breaking vote - LOL!)

Good buy Mark - so you're the one who outbid me....! Yes, they do look like the anti-blackies although sometimes Vitro had some of their other marbles in Blackies, Whities, Tiger Eyes and other bags so compare them to those types first when you get the bag in-hand.

I thought the term sulphide has been used for couple hundred years or more? As for the term being used with marbles, I'd guess from the mid to late 1800's.

Pic 'title' says Scott Patrick

Here's a couple views of one of mine. Then some other pics I had saved from the past (not confirmed as Vitro oxbloods but ID'd as such so...?

I have not seen any Woolworth's named bags at all so any would be nice to see. There are a lot of advertising bags for soda pop, food, various clothing/shoe companies & varied other companies. A lot of them have Alley swirls or MK patch & ribbons or MK Cat's-eyes or Peltier bana cat's-eyes as well as many Vitros. A lesser few have Champion or Alox swirls. Here's a few odds 'n ends bags that I have. The Dr. Pepper bag has Heaton (verified by Ron). The Nestle's bag has two red & white St. Marys cat's-eyes in it.

That'd be a nice find but, for example, here's one I bought (on the left), in hand, in a group (all $1 or so each) and didn't have a light until I got home. Thought it was a score (and it still was overall) but the black was the dark transparent green base showing through. In hand, with no backlighting, it looked just like this pic.

Great idea!

Some great looking colors and patterns in thee - thanks for sharing that.

Enjoy some ice fishing and celebrate the big day - still got a ways before the half century mark!
