PlanB Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 I don't believe Vitro made any six-vane cats of this style. They made 4 and 5 vane and then produced the cage-style for more vanes. This type of 6 vanes tended to be made in the far east(ie. Japan) and by Vacor, although the Vacor ones usually didn't fill as much of the marble.

Steph Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Vitro did make six vaners which look a lot like their four- and five-vaners. by the way and for what it's worth. not sure why it's come up here. i'm probably missing something.

popculturizm Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Ok another stupid question, cat's eyes have veins, these are the individual color strands, making a "banana" a single veined cat and a 8 veined an eight strand, right? then can a cat have veins in all the same and or all different colors. (i know not well worded - but recently got interested in "banana's" and anomaly cat's(one with bubbles or offset centers) thanks [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 Cat's eyes have "vanes". Yeah, I know that especially when looking at cage style cats the term "vein" seems to make a lot of sense. The cage style cats are a later development though. The word "vane" comes from the blade-like appearance of early cats, like the blades on a rotor or a weather vane. Individual vanes can have more than one color within them. And then of course some "cat's eyes" have a splintery structure which defy a vane count. if I understand correctly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
