fantacmet Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 These are some of the ones I've have recently come into. These are a bag of my favorites and a bag of unique ones. Any information would be extremely helpful. I know the names of a few makers and can generally tell old from new, but that's about it. Happy to take any of these out and take closer pictures upon request. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 I see a 1960's Japanese marble. Some 1960-ish Marble Kings. Possibly some West Virginia swirls (which are from 1930's through at least the 1950's.) I think a Vitro cat's eye, from 1960's or later. Maybe another Vitro from an earlier era. And some newer Asian marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantacmet Posted December 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 I was definitely off. I was thinking MAYBE marble kings, but akro, and them some smaller stuff. I'm 99% no cats eye but then I could be wrong. Could be light or angle. Entirely possible(very likely) I have not a clue what I'm seeing or talking about. Which one?. I'll get another pic or two. I have some others I'll post up before too long. I even have one that is not fully formed. It's like a molar on one side. Thank you very much for the info so far.

Al Oregon Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 The two possible cat's-eyes are the red/blue one 4th from let and maybe the white/clear one, third from the right. More pictures of those two would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted December 16, 2023 Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 There are two cat's eyes in the bottom photo. More in the larger group photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantacmet Posted December 16, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2023 I'll take more photos of those. I thought those were just basic swirls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantacmet Posted December 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Ok I'm.confused. What makes them cats eyes? I mean I get they're supposed to resemble a cats eye, but I don't see it unless I'm looking at them wrong. Sadly there is nowhere around here I can go like a shop and ask. I don't do FB or Instagram, or anything else owned by Meta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff54 Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Your photos are sideways, and horizontal. Orientate a cat eye marble the same as Cats; vertically or up and down. Toss some Childish imagination in here and wa-la! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fantacmet Posted December 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 I've given up on childish imagination. Childish behaviour though, now that's another story. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted December 19, 2023 Report Share Posted December 19, 2023 Here is a packaging picture or two on similar cat's-eyes for your "imagination". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
