YasudaCollector Posted Monday at 01:14 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 01:14 AM I recently got a whole bunch of these marbles together in a big jar (mixed in with mostly game marbles). They look foreign, but a little different from the Asian cat's eyes I have (the base glass looks very shiny and is pretty grayish). The vein colors look very dingy too (even more so than the Taiwan and India cat's eyes I've seen). I was wondering if they could be some sort of Mexican product, since Mexico was the largest producer of foreign cats eyes besides Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted Monday at 02:33 AM Report Share Posted Monday at 02:33 AM I think Vacor on the last guy. I don't know what the earliest Vacor cats looked like. Have been curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YasudaCollector Posted Tuesday at 04:16 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 04:16 PM Interesting marbles! They look almost like master or vitro patch marbles made with Euro sparkler glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YasudaCollector Posted Tuesday at 04:29 PM Author Report Share Posted Tuesday at 04:29 PM The dark green guy actually has these cool whispy threads of opaque glass all through the center. It didn't quite come through I think in the photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know what the 1940's version looked like. Perhaps Elizabeth has them in her book, but I have misplaced my copy, so I cannot check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
