Ric Posted December 27, 2021 Report Share Posted December 27, 2021 Those are interesting mibs - great base color. I'm leaning Vitro but they're pretty unusual so . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 Vitro is really all I see - really cool Superior variants is my best guess. I'd put them in my collection, for sure. Hint, Hint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akroorka Posted December 28, 2021 Report Share Posted December 28, 2021 These smaller marbles can be hard to ID because they just do not show like the larger ones. They are more transparent regardless of the opacity of the glass. The cutoffs are a tad different because of the size of the glob that was cutoff. They cool/anneal and roll to an orb faster and in general, just do not look not the same as we may all be used to seeing in even a 5/8” marble. I will agree that it looks like a Vitro marble but they could be Pelt or Akro. The yellow is pretty deep, thick and pronounced. They are vintage pre-war, imho. I do believe that they are from the same maker. Well made and more than likely Vitro Agate. I will commit to that. Regardless of the seams and committing to the colors. I just call them like I see them and I look very closely at the images presented. They are Vitro in my world. Nice marbles regardless of any ID. Marble—On!!

Chuck G Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 A very good discussion, with every ones input and thoughts. Yes, i do see why some would say Vitro as they do look to be an (offshoot) of the "Superior" family type. I can see Master also with the cut lines. They could be Akro also with the colors. Akro and Master had the smaller size, like these examples, especially Master. I (think) you see very few Vitros in this 1/2 inch size. My (opinion) i will go with on these examples to be Master then possibly Vitro and then Akro, not Peltier. I have an antique brass wire necklace that has these types of marbles in it at the 1/2 inch size that i (consider) Master. Master seemed to make a lot of 1/2 inch pee-wees marbles.

akroorka Posted December 29, 2021 Report Share Posted December 29, 2021 Great response Chuck G, I would love to see the necklace. I am really into Master Made Marbles and I am always on the hunt. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2021 The other color combo was the complete opposite. Red base glass and yellow ribbons. I wanted one but I was lucky to get these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
