Some Big Ones,from Across The Big Pond

[FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF]

I just got these from the UK.The largest wire pulls are 1&1/16 dia,and the "flame" is 15/16 dia.

In with the group,is 2 that reseamble vitro cat eyes.Did the europeans make them?Seems strange to get them in a lot that is all,europeans,if they are not.What do you think?

Vacor wirepull types sometimes look like horseshoe cats. Don't see why a german wirepull couldn't. Can you trace one long ribbon around? or does it actually have vanes?

Both have 6 veins,clearly separated on the ends

Only the white one might be Vacor Streamer - the rest are way cool...rarely seen anything like them - esp that size.

I have a collection of the vitro or vitro lookalikes all found in the UK, where I live. Some were given to me in the 1970's which I guess were bought new and loose from a toy shop, others I found later in collections within UK. People may be confusing them with the Vacor spaghetti, if you showed a pic of where the ribbons start and end and the gap it may show the difference more. My thoughts on them started with Germany, then I thought US and more recently maybe UK?

The shape of the horseshoe is like the typical"u",but the ends are turned out,on half of them,away from the center on the marble.There are 6 viens in each,and are clearly separated from one another.
