Vitro?

[Fire1981]

A true flea market find when I was kid. I always thought it was on a black base glass. Just back lit it and found out it’s on a blue transparent base. It’s definitely a veneered marble. Hope my pics are good enough to get an ID on this one. Its just under 7/8ths.

In the 4th pic I think some of the vennering got pulled into the matrix.

This is a tuff one Fire and I do not think that it veneered according to the backlit images.

Start looking away from what you think and see what you may find. I think that it is a swirl.

The colors sure look Vitro but my advice is explore for similar colors in another maker.

Think what it may not be and investigate, rather than get locked on.

I was locked on to Vitro as soon as I saw it.

Marble--On!!

All of the colors on the surface are veneered. None of them dive into the matrix.

Fancy Conqueror?

Vienna ?

It’s hard not to lock down on with this one. 
I have this Blue Devil, the big All Red you guys nailed down for me. These are all from the 4th grade flea market score.

Transparent blue base in much darker then the one in question.

I checked Kevin Robert’s Vitro ID’s on All About Marbles. The Fancy Conqurer in the bottom left hand corner looks like this marble. Does anyone think its something else ?

OK Fire, I will chime in and hope for any rebuttle from the masses---bring it on!!!!!

Your first one is veneered and it is a very nice Vitro, of course I trust your judgment on the veneering--just giving my opinion on it at first.

The last one is a Vitro, no doubt in my mind ever and it sure looks like the "Blue Devil" that you refer to---another great marble 44444444444 sure.

I just do not have the ability in my little corkhead to keep track of all of the names that we collectors have assigned to these awsome little orbs.

4th grade really? It must have been one of those years for me because I cannot remember a thing from fourth grade (the nuns must have beat it out of my mind🔨)

Blue Devil--On!!

Oh Snap ! They never gave Jake or Elroy any love as well. I was that Paper Route kid in the ‘60’s-70’s .The flea market was every Saturday morning across the street from part of my paper route. I always had paper route marble money when I went over there. That’s where and when I got hooked. I can remember some of those marbles and when I’m resorting I can recognize some of them. But sometimes I can’t remember what I had for dinner. I thought this might be a WVS.
