The Nickel Guy Posted Wednesday at 04:09 AM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 04:09 AM I had them in with All Reds. They seemed to have the same structure but that was quite a bunch of marbles ago when I put them in that frame. Now I am stumped but this should be easy for somebody and well, my head kinda hurts. I need to hit the hay. Good night and thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a few others in different color combos that are of same construction. They are hanging out together with similar kinds between my All Reds and Black Lines keeping the peace. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, believe it or not--"All Reds" did not always have red involved. I think that you are on the right track here. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Akro, It has been a Vitrorious day. I got some pictures of some Bullseyes and Tiger Eyes coming up and I think I have found 6 Opals. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted Wednesday at 11:36 PM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:36 PM I came across these pretty marbles but I don't even know if they are Vitro. I had my fingers crossed for a Parrot or something The one on the far left is 11/16th No white shows, it has two yellow patches a light green and a red patch and they meet nicely on each pole. Almost all these marbles appear to me to be pretty old if not all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted Wednesday at 11:39 PM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:39 PM Here's 12 Tiger Eyes I think, not sure if the shooters are. I think they are TY 1 except the one under the shooter has no white pole so I think that is TY 2 Tiger Eye. They are in pretty nice shape, the one shooter has seen active duty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted Wednesday at 11:44 PM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:44 PM Here's the Opals meh bee? One is shown earlier above, that funky one that Fire asked about. No glamor shot, just looking for the orange glow on the Lego floor which they do seem to have that characteristic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted Wednesday at 11:55 PM Author Report Share Posted Wednesday at 11:55 PM Thanks to Stephen Behr's most recent video on yoooo tooob Vitro Bullseyes I learned a bit more about Vitros and di find I had 18. One has a light brown color surrounding the green pole. ( Bottom left , first picture ) which might be unusual ) Top left has been in a scuffle but still collectible. These 10 have a yellow ring around the colored pole, which are maybe a bit harder to find than the red shown in pic 1. Most all of these in this post are in great shape. . . . . round LATE EDIT: However, these below with the yellow have brushed color and do not make the cut. I like them very much but it has been suggested that these are not Bullseyes below. Those above are. I have a bunch more but I think that I have al kinds mixed in with my Vitro collection. Tomorrow is another day. Thanks to all who looked and added to this little thread with your time and posts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted Friday at 02:38 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 02:38 AM On 11/12/2025 at 6:36 PM, The Nickel Guy said: The only one I think may be Akro (or maybe Master) is the first on the left, above. The third from the left looks like a Parrot (a Baby Parrot if it's player size). If the 5th one has only 3 colors it would be a Parakeet or a Baby Parakeet, depending on size. I'd need another view or two before I could say much about the others (the 6th is particularly interesting - not sure I'd even call it Vitro from this single view). The above are pretty cool Type I Tiger Eyes with two yellow equatorial ribbons. They are quite a bit less common than those with two different colored equatorial ribbons. Like the Type I Tiger Eyes below - the big ones are Type I TEs too. The one far right just got a little wonky, which is not uncommon for larger sizes. Vitro Opals usually have two colors and light white on an opalescent base glass. I don't think the ones below fit the bill. They look more like Conqueror variants to me. Sometimes, when your looking for opalescence, light coming through the colored patch can make you think they might be opalescent. So be aware of that when you're backlighting looking for it. That's a nice group of Bull's Eyes you're showing up there too. I hope this helps. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty happy to have sorted these a ways back from mixed lots and getting almost all correctly ID-ed for myself as Vitro Agate. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one far right just got a little wonky, which is not uncommon for larger sizes. Awesome information. I am catching on here. The Bullseyes need interior glass with filaments like a Phantom Conqueror. I looked more closely at them after finding this reply and there appears to be clear glass inside only on the yellow ones. 7 hours ago, Ric said: Sometimes, when your looking for opalescence, light coming through the colored patch can make you think they might be opalescent. Totally understand this now. Thanks again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
