Melissa Posted February 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 I’m attempting to sort through my hoard of cats eyes and am now sorting through the cages. Are any caged cats eyes collectible at all or no?  Vitro 8 fingers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted February 18, 2023 Report Share Posted February 18, 2023 I think the 8 fingered Vitros are really cool and are some what HTF 🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted February 23, 2023 Report Share Posted February 23, 2023 Yes Vitro cage cats. The yellow ones are either MK or Heaton ? I have a very hard time separating many single color 4 vane MK or Heatons.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinx Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 The yellow ones are probably Marble King. Heaton's "usually" don't meet completely in the middle, but since there are few hard and fast rules in marble IDs, Heaton is still a possibility.  1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinx Posted March 8, 2023 Report Share Posted March 8, 2023 I've noticed that a couple of people have ordered my book on eBay recently and told me that they learned about it here. If anyone else is interested in the book, you can send me a message through the board and buy it directly at a discount over what I charge on eBay. Thanks in advance for your interest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking about you and some of the great Cat's Eye threads we used to have on Marble Mental. It's really a shame they have all disappeared.

It seems like that was back in the dinosaur era!  I could have used some of the reference material when I was writing my book. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
