wvrons Posted October 8, 2021 Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 Using the names which has been used for or by another company or a already named marble has always and will always cause more confusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 More information for them is much needed. Maybe the company who made them had a name for them ? It is difficult to change a name once it is used for some time. Like with the Peltier John Deere. The John Deere tractor is base green with yellow accents. But the marble is yellow base with green accents. The name is backwards but there is no way to change the mistake now. Using the Tri Lite name and before long people will be selling these as Vitro Tri Lite or just Tri Lites to new collectors or uneducated older collectors. Each time a name already in use for time, is used for another company or a different marble, it has caused confusion and long lasting problems. Same question I ask almost weekly. How many different Superman marbles are there ? Some companies have more than one. Jabo may have four or five Superman. What was the first company to have a marble named Superman ? Names are a benefit but need to be used proper, correct and with caution. Peo The name game can and has got out of hand or control. Just check Ebay marble Listing. People assume if it has a name it is worth more. So they name everything any name they want. The more flashy, super rare, super old, or any name to catch the eye of a unsuspecting buyer. They do it now every week by the hundreds. It may be listed as a Vitro Whitie and actually be a modern Jabo or Vacor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saying and my intention is to clear the foreign and the asian thing to just get it over with every time we see a marble we cant ID....lets give them a name ourselfs....there are only a few forums with collectors from the USA and some from Europe....and from overseas we hear ....ow that one is asian ....that one is foreign....well....there are a lot of asian and foreign marbles that are real killer to look at and deserve to get a name to list them in the future and be recognised...and lets just make tings better and open a new chapter on a book thats opend but not yet written Just a thought.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 I agree, this one deserves a name that sets it apart from the run-of-the-mill three-ribbon Imperial. C'mon folks, put on your thinking caps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what if 10, 20, or more marbles with different "looks" hit the scene; all different then what's posted here pertaining to traits like opaque, translucent, clear, color scheme....oh boy.

Mojo Posted October 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Think William nailed it SHERBETS Nice 🤹♂️ It will filter the one color with a transparant section and the patch and ribbon marbles with a transparant section from the rest for starters ....just foreign or asian is so lame... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 I think the 3 ribbon Imperial has a lot of different traits. I hate the word hermaphrodite but I see this marble split in half in terms of ribbon colors. The colors of the ribbons and baseglass seem to be close to Pelts and or Kokomos. Red,Blue and Green ribbons. Let’s call it the Imperial RBG ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You started it 🤪 Yeah Steph 🤹♂️ ....Vote Sherbets !!! 😁👍 A start to start separate these marbles from the rest we call asain and foreign The ones that are one color with a transparant section and the ones with a patch and ribbons with a transparant section so far we have the yellow Sherbet and the Rainbow Sherbet , and i say....why not....its fun and we have nothing to lose Marble on 🤹♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 And when we write the marble club newsletter article on the subject, we'll use both Mojo's Rainbow Sherbet and his Yellow Sherbet as quintessential defining examples. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
