Awesome find! 😃 It's incredible that cat's eyes were produced so early. When I first started collecting, everyone (at least in the US) thought that cat's eyes were invented in 1949. This new information pushes that date back by a whole 10 years. I wonder if these prewar cat's eyes were exported to the US? It would be interested to see if any turn up in antique shops.

Just curious, but I wonder if Stephen Bahr would be interested in exploring the topic of imperial marbles with the people he spoke to in his Vacor/El Aguila videos. Maybe, they would be able to associate certain color combos/glass types with Vacor?

Sure! I love studying these guys. It seems like there's so much variety to them, especially in the older ones.

Here are a few of mine:

Is there a way to tell the Asian made imperials from the Mexican made ones?

Awesome 1930s Yasuda! Love the swirls. 🙂

Got this 1930s ish Chinese table for my Grandma as a present. Turns out it came from one of the original art deco buildings on campus, but was purged during a renovation.

Scored this early 1900s Bohemian glass vase for 10 bucks.

Here are some other recent finds:

Yeah! Looks like a JABO. Love the nice orange and green. 🙂

Very nice color combo!

Interesting one

Here's a nice group of vitro cat's eyes I found last weekend.

Yeah! This guy looks like it might be a Master. My brother has some in different dark greens like this.

Ooh! I think # 2 might be a Peltier National Line Rainbow. I think # 4 could be some kind of Akro corkscrew.

Hmm, I'll have to go through some marbles me and my brother have. We have a couple that look almost like a cross between the typical Dutch wirepulls and West Virginia swirls. They look like some of the ones that have been posted in this thread.

Ooh! This guy is a real stumper! It's definitely a cool find though.

I agree with William, It kinda looks like a Vitro caged cats eye.

Ooh! Thanks for posting this guys! 😃 I have a whole bunch that look exactly like the ones in @Mojo's picture. I could never quite figure out what they were.

Here's some nice caged cat's eyes I found this week:
