nutz4lutz Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 This 5/8" opaque marble is like nothing I've seen before. Anyone ever find one or know it's origin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryT35 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 It looks like a green/yellow popeye that did'nt cork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutz4lutz Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I see what you mean. Thing is, even that frothy pale patch is completely opaque. It has a buttermilk tone to it, not that I'm saying I think it's Vitro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 I've had similar marbles in that color and was pretty sure they were Vitro hybrid chinese checkers. Figured they were from a color change, and not being suitable for the chinese checker games were thrown into the mix for bags or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacyw Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Can you tell if it's veneered or solid color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nutz4lutz Posted April 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 That sounds reasonable. I've had lots of hands on experience with Marble King 2 color/multicolor blends that I think were transitional between game marble runs. So this could be what Vitro's transitionals can turn out to look like. It does look veneered over opaque white glass. Both seams show some white shining through.

stacyw Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 For what my very inexperienced opinion is worth,I'll vote Vitro too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

richsantaclaus Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I have several marbles that I see shapes in their design. Walking women, eyes, birds, all 26 letters of the alphabet, digits 0 thru 9, medallions, planera (flatworm), hearts, on and on and on..... I bet I have over 200 of themsaved in special cigar boxes!
