nancy cooper Posted October 30, 2010 Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 I think these may be some version of a cat's eye....Am I right?...Any ideas on where they may have been made would be appreciated... Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeeperman Posted October 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2010 The 2nd and 7th could be and likely are and the 5th is a Vitro horse shoe style caged cateye. The rest I cant see well enough but look like possible swirls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skycollect Posted December 5, 2010 Report Share Posted December 5, 2010 Would the Vitro eight-fingers be considered cats? I would like to see a photo of some of the different color combos they come in. The only two I have are small ones 9/16, one amber with white fingers, and one cobolt with white. Lets see whats out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david Chamberlain Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 The Eight-Finger's marbles could be considered cat's but it might also be considered heresy. Even Castle & Peterson in their landmark book broached the subject of numerous ol' standby marbles (Master Sunbursts, Peltier Sunsets,, etc.) having distinct cat's-eye characteristics in the manner of their making. It is very much still open to debate I believe. I'd have to say that Winnie's cat's-eye with Black & Brown vanes in addition to white in blue glass is about as an unusual color combination and rare color usages in an uncommon blue medium as you will ever find in a cat's-eye. Of course, I know with that said someone will right away top it for rarity, nevertheless it's a winner. I would characterize Chordus's cat's as possibly collapsed Cage Style cat's. Rich's 16 vane I believe was discussed elsewhere and could as easily be Vacor as Master but I'd go with Master. Sometimes it's a toss up with Master as to whether it's a Sunburst or a Cat's-Eye. I'd weigh in with Vitro cages on Nancy's cat's although some are a bit wild but not wild enough to be random swirling. And lest anyone have doubts.......Vitro Hybrids rule!
