Steph Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Gladding-Vitro also marketed in Canada. Vitro did a lot of export business over the years. Don once posted a bag of blackies which were exported to Australia, and then made it back home to him 50 years later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted July 31, 2008 Report Share Posted July 31, 2008 Edna, I fear that some of your vitro oxblood may have changed into akro oxblood since you got them. That's not a joke! I think the 'accepted' i.d. may have changed on a couple of them. You know, like how helmets changed from Akro to Vitro. And corals changed from CAC to Champ or Alley or whatnot.

RunnersDad Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Edna, I have decided over the course of the past few months to collect specifically Akro and Jabo and a few 1" plus handmades. That doesn't mean I won't keep a few examples from other brands that I am fond of but I will focus on the others. I have 3 Red Vitro Helmets myself. Those will not be going anywhere as I am especially fond of them, and received one of them from a great board member! If you are interested in any my other Vitros they are all available as I pear down. Just send me a pm if you are interested. And by the way, your Vitro collection is simply AMAZING!!!!!! :4Party: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Since I've sidetracked the subject, I'll try to bring it back! I continue to get a kick out of the juxtaposition of these two images. Dave/Orbboy's parrot on the left and Ant's 1" Jabos on the right. Jabo did "inherit" Vitro's marble machines when they bought the company, and I think I read somewhere that there was one particular machine used for making these big 'uns. I still need to nail that down. In any case the chances sure seem good that the same machine made all of these. And I like that thought! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m!b$ Posted August 2, 2008 Report Share Posted August 2, 2008 Edna, What do you mean by this statement: "Here's a conqueror with opalescent glass. It is not an opal." I thought Tigereyes were always on a veneered base, which would would exclude Blackies and Yellow Jackets...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
