Djp5690 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Not sure where I got it. Sure appears old. “Clear” glass with tiny lines on the surface going top to bottom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetiger Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Experts need to weigh in. How many veins?- even small ones count. Peltier did make black bananas ("rotten Bananas"); but they usually have one vein. This might be foreign; but it is very beautiful! I've never seen those brown stripes before in a cat's eye. For that alone it is a valued keeper imho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does seem to have a bazillion stripes from top to bottom that are completely transparent. You have to look closely to see them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others need to add 2 cents though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treetiger Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Black cat's eyes are worth collecting imo. They aren't that common; and they have a striking beauty all their own- no matter who made them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Bogard is the most famous maker of "black" veined cats imho. The ones that I have are most commonly found in the "Mountaineer Shooters" blister pack. The one that I have are all four viened. That being said, they do not all come out perfect but if yours has less that four vanes I would suggest an asian made marble.

Djp5690 Posted January 31 Author Report Share Posted January 31 Just the one vane. As I said, in the beginning, though, it does appear to be very very old, or very very used. Another interesting thing I find are the striation from top to bottom. I haven’t seen that on any other marbles that I’ve had. They’re slightly raised, you can kill them, you just can’t see them that well in photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Not a Pelt. They didn’t make black cats eyes. So I’m going with Master on this one🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
