Chad G. Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 40 minutes ago, Ric said: This one ^^ is great! Thanks Ric, I had and I'm not kidding, thousands of them I got with a large lot I purchased that had all the way form handmades & pelts to christensen and akro, I had to dig through 7& 1/2 gallons of marbles to get the good ones out $150.00 I think they just didn't collect and wanted to get rid of them. When I was done sorting a couple days later I had almost 5 gallon's of cats left plus the cats I already had at home. So I sold and gave away every one I had at the time, "not good" even for cats when you have that many from every company known there's gonna be some good ones in there. The ones I miss the most are the hybrid vitro I had. Those are the ones I already collected, the multi colored vein ones that fetch all the money now, but not about money, I liked them. I love collecting marbles "yes" but when it's to the point you have so many you're walking on them a decision has to be made. Boy all that over a cat eye, Hmmmm !!! Ah no regrets, I still have a few nice ones. Thanks again Ric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorites are the old Vitros that are stuffed to the gills. Those are the ones I like, the hybrids Vitro made, Beautiful, I do still have a few, nice fat puffy veins as you said "stuffed" I call em "fat n pudgy" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some 5/8ths but they seem a little different than the other pelt bananas I have. I'm just wondering if they're really pelt ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 Like you, Chad, the black ones I have seen I was not convinced were Pelt. I have had a few that really had me thinking about the possibility though. I would have to see one that has no vanes (or very close to no vanes) to be convinced, and the one's I have seen have don't fit that description.

Ric Posted December 17, 2020 Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 As far as "are they Pelt or not"? I even wonder about these . . . I know some people say they are Pelts but . . .? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some people say they are Pelts but . . .? I know all perspective at this point until someone starts to do chemical analysis on the glass or look at the glass structure through an electron microscope. That's going a long ways, I think I'll stick to collecting what I like. Although it does spark a little interest. I don't have a clue about the mibs above, they certainly have the banana structure going, the black ones some do some don't ?? I really, truth be known, don't feel pelt but will hold onto a few just in case. Maybe some pics later ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocobogreens Posted December 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2020 That one is gorgeous! And thanks! I like the fat ones too I think these are cats eyes as well, little peewee/smaller vitro maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on those Bill but the black ones I have I believe aren't, but I'm still gonna post em to give everyone a good look see. When I figure out how to download these stupid pics or someone does it for me. Hmmm, if I'm having someone else download for me then the stupid one is....

bonniemarbles Posted December 18, 2020 Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Basically, I don't collect cat eyes-don't go out of my way to buy them, but some come along with others, & are really neat enough to keep : here are some I've kept. In the last frame is one of my favorites, it looks like an oddly colored violet....neat stuff. fellows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 RC was my favorite, I never thought to save the mibs, they all kissed the lips of my sling shot the second I got home and spotted a Squirrel or bird or for that matter just a tree. Guess I better post 1 or 2 or..........the big ones are 7/8ths & the little red one is 19/32nds. Sorry for the collage effect !! Maybe one or 2 more Bubble filled caged Asian probably Japanese Vitro Asian, probably Japanese Ok, I'm done (maybe!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 Jack Bogard told me he produced the banana cat eyes. I know for sure also that Jack packaged his marbles and old Heaton stock in old original Heaton bags. The largest percentage of all the banana cats dug at Heaton were shallow and close the building. So I think Jack probably made most if not all the banana cat eyes at the Heaton site. If you see a bag of Heaton banana cat eyes, better grab it. They are very rare to find. The single color ones are very difficult to separate from Peltier. The Heaton banana is usually just a little smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
