PittsburghMarbles Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 31 minutes ago, Steph said: that's a conversation piece! If you find more about it, it would be cool to hear. I’ve been researching it, scant information on them. But it appears people would personalize gear shift knobs, there’s many examples of differing peoples names in the glass. I got this one for 75 bucks today, the seller at the antique store had two other examples. The others at the antique store I was at today had similar name plates in them like these examples (from online below) and the Bessie one I bought today. All of the ones at the store and the one I bought and the examples online all have Pat 8-20-29 on the shifter part. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PittsburghMarbles Posted April 16, 2023 Report Share Posted April 16, 2023 Just got these tonight in an auction, two nice Veiligglas marbles. Wish the opaque styles were more readily available as some of them rival the beauty of the best CACs and Alleys. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittsburghMarbles Posted April 17, 2023 Report Share Posted April 17, 2023 Just got this off of the bay of fleas. I only have a few vitro jewelry trays but this 1939 worlds fair one is a new one to me. Never seen it at any marble shows or anything before. Someone obviously used it as an ashtray with the visible burn marks. I assume most of these trays were used as ash trays; not their intended use. Apparently, Henry Fisher the plant manager of Vitro in Parkersburg abhorred smoking, so he marketed these trays for jewelry, and there’s larger sizes called Masters that were also made. Most however weren’t used for the marketed purpose and just became ash trays. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbernugs Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 Someone gave me a bunch of Vitros in mint condition. Most are Conquerers and Tiger Eyes, but there are a few I circled that are opals and one with some green ribbons I'll post for ID. A few Pelt Rainbos snuck in. The 2 green cats are AV. Not bad for free! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
