akroorka Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Nice cats! I have always been partial to the ugly cats that Master Glass made---kinda like a last ditch effort to keep up with the influx of Japenese made and an underdog as well. Here is one that is special--you really have to pick through these to find one like this. Marble--On!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never call any marble posted as ugly--maybe mugly, such as in damaged marbles--or oogliy. Nice images for sure. Find anyone here that will not call Master Glass marbles ugly and I will send a bag or two. Master Glass probably made the worst looking ever cats eyes in history. I have collected them for years--I am just looking for that special one-or two. Believe it or not there were fakes of these less than desirable bags made. Maybe @Al Oregon has some input here. They do exist😵💫. The great ones. It just takes a lot of sorting. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disco005 Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Omgosh davesnothere! This was a fantastic video. Outside of the marbles, I loved your music selection, literally had me be-bopping at my desk. Very fun, looking forward to more if you're doing them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds like Ukulele music to me. It does pick up your spirits a lot for sure. Fitting for cats eyes no doubt. The little sister of collectable marbles for years now is getting some recognition from all. ( I should listen to all of this stuff as a moderator---you never know what may be found in the sound provided-I am lacking here and will continue to do my best) Nice job Dave!

This has been a great discussion, and we need more of this type from everyone involved here. Taking out a few minutes to discuss marbles and showing images from the library that we all own may be the way. To just say that “this is a what” or “this is a never a what” is not enough to keep this board going in this new age. We all must share our knowledge here—in a somewhat extended language. Short here and there’s will not make it. Do not be afraid of any negativity from anyone. I will not allow it. We all have opinions, and I will stand by them all. This is how we all have learned, and this is how the future should continue to be here on “TheMarbleConnection”. Marble—On!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marboman Posted Sunday at 04:03 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 04:03 PM I think this thread could use a bump. Everyone has Cat's-Eyes. Maybe we could learn more about them. Please post your Cat's with a description of what you think they are. This a great thread already, be sure to listen to the musical post at the begining. I'm posting my 15/16" Vitro caged Cat with oxblood. ☺️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussie Posted yesterday at 04:45 AM Report Share Posted yesterday at 04:45 AM Elizabeth Kempski's book says the 9Vane 3Colour caged style is one of the rarer Japanese cat's eyes. Even rarer with coloured base glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have any 9Vane in colored glass but have more with all 9vanes same color, I need to get the camera out and take some pics. Great marbles Chad and Fire !! ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would like to know more about them ☺️ these 9 vane 3 color cat’s eyes are discussed in Elizabeth Kempski’s book. They are believed to be Japanese by most collectors who have them, but one collector has reported buying them from Indonesia and believes them to be Indonesian, she says.
