Steph Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Link to the Christensen Agate version? I'm trying to find my copy of Baumann's Collecting Antique Marbles. I think there's a CAC Blue Devil in that. Do you have that book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 23, 2012 Report Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yup, if you have Baumann's book there is a CAC Blue Devil in the chapter on Christensen and Peltier. In the 4th edition, the photo is on p. 130. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Marbles Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 http://www.ebay.com/...=item33737ef8e9 With my limited experience with Vitros, I question even if it is a Vitro. Made in China? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speed Racer Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Never seen such a DEEP-blue base Conqueror before. If Vitro it is a Conqueror type. At least the lavender-like color is coming pretty close to Vitro. Thanks for showing it Rylee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 That pink looking ribbon looks like Fenton Burmese glass that has been reheated. I'm betting it glows with a black light on it. If so, it's a JABO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunnersDad Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 The colored base conquerors are much harder to find but the name is definitely playing off CAC as Galen stated above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jill Marie Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I got one of these babies, and I must say it is quite the beaut! Very happy with it. I would go with the last ebay listing that Felicia posted. (Obviously both great marbles) The color is a great cobalt blue, with the common vitro lavender patch, or V. I will check it in the morning to see if it glows Edna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 I just may have to get involved in this discussion a little. I can attest that at least 20 plus years ago i found my first one exactly like the ones for sale on e-bay. Now the origon of these i haven not figured out yet. Over all the years of collecting and all the marbles i have seen i have kept everyone that i have found and only gave one or two away so far. Still have at least five left. In my opinion and just a wild guess at them, possibly a limited run of a vitro of some sort because of the purpilish/pinkinsh/whitish patch on them. Where the cobolt transparent blue base came from in them is a guess? In my opinion i will say Vitro and or foriegn of some sort. Chuck G-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psia-antique Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Not like any JABO I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutz4lutz Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 They are definitely an early Vitro marble. That's my listing (vintagemarbles). I received two of them in a collection purchased from the daughter of a Vitro factory employee. He had worked at both factory locations. The collection included Superiors, Trilites, Phantom Conquerors, Fisher Jewel Trays and a 100 count stock box of 11/16" Trilites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsMopar Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 They're both gorgeous! I'd like'em both. I posted that link because it had the info in the description and I have been told that you, vintagemarbles, knows your stuff pretty good. :-) Felicia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Marie Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Just checked it, it doesn't glow. I noticed it has a really nice V too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutz4lutz Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thanks, Felicia! I live here in WV, marble ground zero. I'm five miles from Marble King, 45 miles from where Vitro's were made. So I do get to see a good deal of West Virginia's marble history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 If nutz4lutz says it's Vitro, then it is. He's that good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrsMopar Posted March 24, 2012 Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Thanks, Felicia! I live here in WV, marble ground zero. I'm five miles from Marble King, 45 miles from where Vitro's were made. So I do get to see a good deal of West Virginia's marble history. You are soooo lucky! I was able to get a tour and history lesson at most of the sites there a few years ago and I've enjoyed the few trips I've made to W Va. Sorry I'll be missing the WVMCC show :-( Thanx to everyone (you know who you are) for such wonderful and special memories...God bless!! Jill Marie! Hey there! Lovely marble to have as it has that lavender/pinkish color and that deep blue just brings out that color so very well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
