MarbleDawg86 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Any ideas on a maker for these? I picked up this colorful little handful today. I was thinking possibly vitro, but alas, once again I'm stumped! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 My first thought was Imperial (Asian). But if they were in an old lot then I'd wonder about Vitro also. I'm pretty sure I've seen some "8 fingers" with opaque bases. My memory on them isn't clear though. Anyone have pictures? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wediscount2 Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I have a friend who has some with that pattern but a different color and I think Steph is correct in her Asian assessment. Ronnie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefan Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 I find those a lot here in Germany, especially together with euro sparklers and wirepulls... Dont know if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 They are new sold at Walmart a few years ago. I have a pic of a package somewhere and have posted it several times.

MarbleDawg86 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Thanks everyone for the help! Glad I got these so cheap! I guess the price should've given the origin away! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Marbles Posted March 26, 2014 Report Share Posted March 26, 2014 Is this you?? http://www.ebay.com/itm/One-VIntage-625-8-Finger-Vitro-Marble-/141237748281?pt=Marbles&hash=item20e26d0239 You were told these are Modern Asian Marbles & not Vitro. So why did you list them as Vitro Eight Fingers???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why did you list them as Vitro Eight Fingers???? It most certainly was me. It was listed before I asked. I had yet to remove the listing. I do my best to describe them as accurate as possible. If anyone ever tells me otherwise I always edit the listing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 These are Edna's Vitro 8 fingers, including some opaque ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarbleDawg86 Posted March 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 HUGE difference in the seams! Color is very similar but I can totally see it now. Thank you Steph! I can always count on you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
