Is this helmet!?

Helmets always have white with a colored stripe (other than the white) near the center of the white, and a transparent colored face. The helmet is always white, the face is colored transparent, and a colored stripe in across the center of the helmet. If the helmet is colored (not white) and not stripe, it is a Akro patch. 

Vitro Helmets- Looks like a football helmet with a colored stripe back the center of the helmet and a colored transparent face.

They are not ash trays. They were used as ash trays in bars but not ash trays. They are Jewel Trays. Many have that stamped on the back with the patent. They were designed by Vitro owner Art FIsher.  He ate out a lot and the tip he left was usually some pieces of Vitro jewelry, ear rings, necklace, etc. which contained Vitro marbles. So he decided the ladies need some  type of tray to hold their jewelry, when they took it off at night. So he designed and made the Vitro Fisher Jewel Trays. They are in two sizes the small one about 3 1/2 inches and the large ones at about 6 inches. They can be smooth or hammered brass or chrome.  They can have all the same marbles or some have different marbles all the way around. The more rare one is the small one that is chrome and it contains different opaque solid color marbles around the outside. I had a original box set of five jewel trays, but I sold it. The Worlds Fair jewel trays are always higher price. The normal brass 3 1/2 inch trays are usually about $30-$35.00, with helmets $75.00- $100.00. The large trays are usually about $125.00-$150.00. The worlds fair trays are usually about $50.00-$65.00.  Worlds Fair tray with the box $300.00. Small chrome tray with solid color game marbles $150.00 . At one time I had over 200 small trays and 25 large trays. 

These are called Fisher Jewel Trays.

No….it has to have 2 white patches on each side. The dark patch turns it into something else. What? I don’t know. Vitro first and Akro second 🔥

 

 

My first thought is Anacortes Vitro for Jeremy's marble.
