Cats talk. Old or new

Recommended Posts

My eyes were getting crossed spending time in Steph’s study hall so I need a diversion. I’ve been trying to get in touch with my inner cat. I don’t have many but these don’t look much like garden variety cat’s eyes so maybe some feedback will help i. d. these few(mostly) cat’s eyes. 

The little one is the smallest marble I have. It measures .488” or 12.45mm.  I read here recently about a “banana” cat’s eye, (I think) is that what the top left is?

Is everything but the lower right a cat’s eye? All modern?

The upper left one does look like a Peltier Banana. The lower right is a transparent swirl (not a Cat's Eye). The rest are foreign Cat's Eyes, IMO.

The Peltier and the transparent swirl appear to be vintage and some of the foreign Cat's Eyes may be too but it's hard for me to say for sure

I was thunkin last week: "Cat eyes" Vitro did that. Peltier started it and at least, Banna's, you know? kind of look like cat eyes. Yet St Mary's Marble King two colored cross through resembles a Cat's eye more than any. Vitro came out with Caged Cats in bags that said: 'CAT EYES'. When I was a kid the only relation to those were, if I imagined it referred to Silvester and Tweety bird's cage.

Otherwise, surely, it's way to late to change Cages and distance them proper, but, even as a kid I couldn't help thunkin: They ain't no danged cats in Vitro's Cage. 🤪
