Steph Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 My first thought is Vitro cat's eye. From after the 1950's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Vanes on the exterior has been known to happen with caged cats. That's still my best guess. Newer marbles do have a way of working themselves into older collections. When Mom or grandma is cleaning she finds a stray marble and puts it in the old marble box. Things like that. Maybe someone else will have a different guess. That's the only one which comes to mind for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Looks like a Vitro cat eye type to me. And out of the 50 plus collections that were supposed to only have old marbles in them that I have examined only 3 did not have at least some newer marbles. And most had more new than old.

popculturizm Posted January 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 possibly . but in the norm there is never just one cat - but there were some Vitro "opals" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 Nice. .... I'm 99.999999% sure the opals are from after the war, or at least not from before it. I think the 1950's, but someone could convince me they came from the 40's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
