No name, just three color Vitro Boulder .  All Red is white base with a red patch and a patch of a different color.  No three color All Reds.

Just to be sure, Boulder is not a specific Vitro name - it's a reference to the size of the marble.

ok yes.  thanks. what size range is a boulder?

That's a reasonable question but I don't think there is a specific answer. I personally would not use the term for anything 7/8" or smaller - more like 15/16" and up. I think "Shooter" refers to marbles that are bigger than 5/8" but no bigger than 3/4" so I'm not sure what to call marbles bigger than 3/4" but small than 15/16" - maybe just "big ones"? It's a real quandary. lol

A USA National regulation shooter is 3/4 inch.  Above 3/4 inch is a Boulder. Over one inch some call them Toe breakers. I also do not use Boulder or any certain term until it is 7/8 to one inch size.  Just like pee wee, what is the term or name between 1/2 inch and 5/8 inch size .  The between sizes really do not have a name or set term.  I said Boulder because it was between 7/8 inch and one inch size.  Many people call and list for sale 7/8 inch and over marbles as shooters.  A shooter is 3/4 inch. Pictures of single marbles can be misleading of the size unless it is listed or stated.  Use the actual number size and no problem. People have different understanding with names. Exactly what is required for any name ? You get lots of opinions, terms, size name, marble names, etc.  Put a name with it and it gets more complicated. Put a name with it and most people think more money. If the name is true, maybe more money ? If false someone will be very disappointed. Are marble collectors, collecting, buying and selling marbles or names ?  I have a nice shooter Superman for sale. What is it worth ?  About thirty years ago that was easy to answer.  Today that can be from lots of different companies and from $5.00 to $300.00. 

 

Thirty years ago, it was a 3/4 inch NLR Peltier Superman with blue, red and yellow.
