Steph Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 These are from a Master box which sold on ebay awhile ago. What do you call this style of marble? Patch, Sunburst, later Sunburst, something else, or nothing except "Master"? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david Chamberlain Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I wouldn't bet on it; they're looking pretty much Master Sunbursts right down to the very last one. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I'm intrigued there are a couple which might look like Vits. I've noticed that in other Master packaging - mibs which in a standalone ID would likely be called Vit. I believed them to be Master but they sure made me do a double take. I went through about 500 Masters recently making notes on them. That was an adventure. The mibs had been pre-id-ed as Masters by people at shows and so forth. I was only making notes on particular style names within the Master line. On several I had to say something like, "If indeed this is Master, it seems the style name would be Sunburst." Because in a standalone ID with just that marble and no source given, I wouldn't want to have been the one ID-ing the maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo44 Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 I believe Mordiskul is correct. Without having them in hand, I can not say with ANY certainty, however, at this time I would not bet against a Vitro (or 3) in that lot. Here's a hint, anything in this style that is stringy purple. Bet on Vitro. Master's in that stringy purple tend to have lots more color than just the purple & clear. Then again, they are all JUST marbles. Does it really matter WHO made them? Let's just enjoy the marbles. Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
