cheese Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Have you heard of the Vitro sulphides? In the 1980s, Vitro in Anacortes did an experiment, trying to make machine made sulphides. They made figure heads of Spiderman, He-Man, Skeletor, and I think Superman? They then attempted to color them and make marbles with them. The experiment failed because they weren't annealed and cooled rapidly as a machine made does, and they fractured. Don Miller (RIP) gifted me a head and had some encased in glass by Ray Laubs and he gifted one of those to me as well. Notice how much bigger the head looks inside the marble this shows how small the figure inside a sulphide really is without the magnification of the glass. Rare and special part of my collection from a rare and special person and I will share it now as he entrusted me to share it with the community. This figure is Spiderman. Oh, and those are Vitro Blue devils underneath plus a strange variety with green on the same blue cobalt base and then the 1 1/4" house of marbles machine Vitro Cosmic Rainbow to the left. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 @cheese Great story - sounds like Don, for sure. I had heard about the sulfides but had not seen hide-nor-hair of them until now. The fact that you have one in and one out of glass is pretty neat. Couple of nice Vitros there too - I'm really liking that Cosmic Rainbow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Here are more photos of the remaining sulphides and heads. All the ones in glass in these photos were done by hand, not machine. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
