The Nickel Guy

If I had to guess, I'd say Heaton. Not sure if that V is an oxblood thread. Could be? It is opaque and has gentle blue and pinks hues in the white which I don't know if you can see that. I have had this a long time and it always gets my attention. I do like it a lot. Anyone know about this marble? Thank you very much.

Akroorka, I had it in the frame yesterday with my Akro's and had to get it out for the photoshoot this morning. It is going back in with the Akro's shortly.

I think this one should be easy if I knew that answer. It is quite vivid. Translucent. This 5/8 marble does light up a fair amount with a UV flashlight. You can see those eyelashes going from the orange into the blue. Pretty dramatic there. Thank you

Thanks Fire.

Much appreciated Mibs!

Hey thanks a lot. I will take a closer look. I appreciate that you did!

I also believe these are all Type 1 and the most often type encountered. I think I have a few more and very few other type Vitro Tiger Eyes. Lots of fun learning more about Vitro last week. Hope I passed the test.

I think I have some more but these I am fairly sure of. Hope I did OK. Thanks. ( I like them )

Still not sure who made it and what it may be called but as you might be able to see, it is darker and richer in color than the earlier images. OK, so I tried my best to show this peewee the best I could as it looks in hand in different light situations. Hope this helps, not much else I can do from here. The seams are very obvious, one looks straight and the other maybe slightly curved. Thanks again all you marble scholars. My hope now is that this helps others down the road as well as myself.

This is a tough one. The jury is still out. I think I should take some really good pictures in the daylight tomorrow (Sunday) and post them. I very much appreciate all the attention this one got. Hope we all learn something. Thanks

The colors are a little more vivid than my images under such lighting, but taking the advice on not a Parakeet. I'll go with Akroorkas assessment as it being a Tri-Lite. A favorite Tri-Lite of mine for sure, well . . . one of them for sure. Thanks so much all. Hope this helps others too.

I am going with Peltier even though I don't see it. The only Marble Show I might get to again is the NJ one in the Spring. I really liked that day. I will be taking some marbles along for an education. I wish I could sit down and talk marbles in person with a lot of you people. These earthlings just don't understand. Thanks EVERYONE so much.

The green might show more weak in my images than in hand. The colors are very much like the one you posted a couple comments above. I am perfectly happy with a "Lifesaver" Thanks to all of you for your studying this marble.

I thought I smelled gravy. Thanks Ric!

I'm not too savvy with the cats eyes but I think I see some Vacor there or Asian, Too wavy for Marble King. Hang loose, Some people know cats eyes much much better than I.

Such nice friendly colors huh?

This one falls right through a 1/2 inch hole so it qualifies as a pee wee. Sorry the pictures are a little fuzzy. It is a bit sharper than shown. This one was also in question elsewhere like the other three I posted here in Marble I.D. land tonight but this way is better with images of all sides. Vitro? if so what type? Do I smell a bit of that Vitro gravy? Thanks, you guys and gals rock!

Well, I like them, a lot.

Nope it is a weird green, maybe a bit more drab green. I nicknamed these Olives with Pimento and Garlic. LOL I feel like eating one. Looks a lot like the image ( on my end anyway ). Thanks for responding.

This one won't fall through a 9/16th hole but has a little room to spare at 19/32". It is a very nice little marble and perhaps it is a Vitro Parakeet. It was posted elsewhere but that thread is getting cluttered. I'd appreciate a verdict with these better pictures on what we have here. Thank you

These two are so alike. They feel and look like older glass. I would appreciate a maker and type please. they are both at 21/32". They appeared elsewhere in a group but better pictures were needed and it is best to start a new thread. Thank you

From another thread where this was in question, here are better images. It was best to move on instead of piling up and making the other thread confusing and hard to follow. I think its a Vitro but surely could be wrong. I was hoping it was a Parrot. It sure is a pretty one. The glass just has that older look and feel to it but it has very little to no play wear. One of my favorites, no matter what it is. Thank you!

I think they could very well be Vacor, they appear to have the same glass as "Firefly" but prsent here as a cats eye. Very nice models. How long have you had these?

I will take some pictures of that smallest one, Akroorka and Ric, in a little while. I will be posting 4 new ID topics elsewhere in just a little bit. To continue in this thread will get messy. X2

Thank you Ric! I will take pictures later today and post a couple new threads on these in ID section later today. Awesome information. I am catching on here. The Bullseyes need interior glass with filaments like a Phantom Conqueror. I looked more closely at them after finding this reply and there appears to be clear glass inside only on the yellow ones. Totally understand this now. Thanks again!
