wvrons Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 You found one for sure Ric. A Vitro Tomato which is mentioned in some of the older books, like Greenbergs Guide to Marbles. Which was my bible when I started researching WV swirl companies and lots of other marbles.  From what I have seen there are more 7/8 than 5/8 size. Like many marbles once you have one in hand or own one, they are not so hard to identify. But they are not just any red/orange marble. Some will have the V some will not.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been hording marbles for so long there are 1000s of them that I haven't seen in ages, which is awesome, because trying to find good marbles anywhere else around here has been impossible lately! My Father was a printer, and he always used to say, "What's the point of having a library full of books you've already read"? I feel pretty much the same way about marbles, and there are lots stashed around here that I haven't seen since the day I acquired them. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the two poles of another color, both poles being the same color each.  Post them if you have them. Is this one Ron? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 Anti Blackie Are these below Anit Blackies or Yellow Jackets ?  Some of the Vitro marbles can fit more than one name. Yellow Jacket is a company name. Anti Blackie is a collector given name. They are Yellow Jackets, they have white base and three colors. Anti Blackie has white base and two colors. One band of color around the center and another color on each side.    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
