Vitros and Masters are about the only patch style marbles I care much about, and this is a very nice example of a Parakeet, which I think is what the 5/8" parrot-type marbles are called. Here are a couple more . . . Although the left one has a little too much white showing for my tastes. 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever I hear or read the word Parakeet I flash back to being 3 years old. I stepped on the family Budgie (poor Peetie) and he was a goner. I really did not get it at the time but I have been reminded of it plenty since then. We got another Peetie—he flew away—smart bird that one. Parrot on!!

I like the nice clear transparent ones as well--simple beauty. Great marbles Ric! Great colors as well! I wish that Swarovski made round marbles, I would get me some. This is as close as it gets for me so far, a Swarovski “marble”--lol. (good thing the sun was out today—the camera went wild trying to focus) Marble—On!!

Do you believe I worked on a farm in Waupun in the summer of 1975? Small world? Well, it wasn't actually in town, which as I recall had one stop light and took about 1 minute to drive through back then. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink or purple in a marble is aways a cool thing. Gray is just different for sure. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
