Interesting. Not sure what it is then. It was in a bag with other vintage marbles. Lord knows I’ve gotten plenty of what I think are basic modern cats eyes. Bummer.

There are lots of foreign marbles that are vintage and Heatons are vintage marbles too.

What about this???

That looks much more like a Peltier. If they have any vanes at all they are usually greatly reduced - maybe more like ridges. Here are some big ones . . .

Best example I’ve seen. Thanks

I should say, the marble you posted might be Peltier but the only way I would call that is if it was in original packaging because there are just too many foreign ones that look like the split oddballs. And having said that, I still think yours is probably foreign. 🙂

I’m getting close to what I think is collectible in my collection so far. What sucks is the amount of modern cats eyes, etc..in the auctions I’ve been to when I only want the vintage ones. It’s like you have to pay for 5 pounds of cats eyes for every 1 pound of actual vintage collectible marbles. Like 1 jar full of collectible and 10 jars of junk.

Heaton banana cat eyes.  Heaton also made standard 4 vane cat eyes. Which I have trouble separating from MK cats.  I can't find my pictures. I am sure Al or others have pictures of Heaton bags with the normal 4 vane cat eyes.
