ManofKent Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 Do these have a 'name' beyond being vitro brushed patches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 18, 2017 Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 They have a Tiger Eye pattern. A later Tiger Eye from the 1960's. But if they're even later than that, then they might not have a name. I started calling them "all-reds with no red" ... before I learned that it was a Tiger Eye variation.

sclsu Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 All of those have damage? They look like they could be dug. Don't really look like tiger eyes to me, I would guess modern vitros. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted December 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Thanks both - I did wonder about Type 4 Tiger's, but the white is base glass rather than a veneered ribbon, and I think the Type 4's were veneered white on opaque white. Not that it's a reliable guide, but they came with a bunch of All Reds (non-blackline) that looked 50's/60's colouration and both vaned and very whispy cages (in pale shades), so I was leaning pre-Gladding. Could be later and just mixed together of course. I don't think they're dug - the veneer fracture damage looks like some kind of problem in the cooling (the camera exaggerates what they look like in the hand). No other colour combinations in the group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 They do show up in some G-V bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted December 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 Thanks Al - I'm guessing from the header that's fairly early 70's. I'd have labelled much of the content as All Reds, if I'saw them loose, but it's interesting the bag is non-descriptive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 I have a general impression of seeing different Vitros in European bags than in American ... not sure how accurate the impression or why there would be differences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have said earlier rather than later but I'm no expert on bags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted December 21, 2017 Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 Those are just the years that Gladding-Vitro was in business. I cannot narrow it any further myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
