Marbleized Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Would love to get some feedback on these two marbles. The base is opaque and possibly black or purple. the veneer ribbon looks lavenderish and white. The ribbons look like the Master brushed patches, but the seams are just slightly curved which is why I'm thinking MK. Size is .61". Thank you.

Marbleized Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Or, could they be Vitros? I was looking at some other posts and noticed that Vitros can have that same brushed look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Maybe Anacortes Vitro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted July 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 Thanks. I will have to read more about the history of Anacortes with marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Vitro was in Anacortes a short time -- I have it down as 1989 to 1992. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Here's an old scan of my Vitros from an Anacortes bag. Yes, a scan. Will probably get an actual photograph someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted July 11, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Nice scan, Steph! I will have to go back into my Vitros and unidentified marbles to see if I have any of those. So this "lavenderish" color could be an indicator of a possible Anacortes Vitro, it seems. Not the vibrant colors of the old Vitros, but still pretty nice. And, such a short period of time. Thanks!

Marbleized Posted July 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Hi Steph, I may have found one of those Anacortes Vitros that you have in your scan. I'm attaching pics. The green translucent base is bubbly and the white patch is very opaque (seems thick). There also seems to be threads or streaks of white that go from pole to pole which makes the green seem a little lighter than the green in my helmets. The size is .63" though. Slightly bigger than the ones i originally posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 I would not be surprised if this one of yours turned out to be older ... like 1930's instead of 1990 ... but I'll dig out my Anacortes and try to get a close up of the ones I think you might be looking at.

Marbleized Posted July 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 Cool! It’s just amazing ... if marbles could talk... I wonder what this marble has seen in it’s existence. BTW, no rush. Whenever you have time. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'd be tripping over it if I didn't want to find it so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted July 25, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Don't worry about it. I'm very patient. 😉Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Found! But no pix yet. Just take my word, in hand they're obviously not a match to your green and white one. Not color, structure, glass consistency, nuthin. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say your green and white one is Akro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted August 15, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 If I compare it to your scan, it looks like this marble has more bubbles and the white patch stays closer to the surface than the vitros? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was exactly where it was supposed to be -- in the Vitro box in the attic -- but the attic lighting isn't great and even though I looked into the box two or three times I didn't see it. So finally in desperation I emptied the box out and there it was. Hopefully some pix today, but no promises -- depends on how late I'm at work and how the lighting is afterwards.

Chad G. Posted August 16, 2020 Report Share Posted August 16, 2020 To hot outside for any pic's from me today, by the time the sun's just right I might as well bring some egg's to fry with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 Nearing the end of September and still no close-ups for you. I've been STRESSING over how to do it. Well, I finally gave up on figuring out how to nicely arrange and present them and I just took a new picture of the whole group and started a new thread. Pictures are a such a challenge for me. I'm much better than I used to be, but still have my moments where I let my expectations get too high and then freeze.https://marbleconnection.com/topic/25964-anacortes-vitro/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
