Again... VITRO Laughing

an' maybe a Peltier??? What the heck is with that Navoish looking one? It is 5/8" not 7/8" or bigger. Did Vacor make this? The patch really looks Pelt not Vacor in hand. I am confused.

The Conquerer one has opal base glass. How unusual is that? Maybe I should have posted it in the Conquerer thread?

Kris, I'm not sure about your first one, but it does look Nova-ish from here.

The one that you're calling a Conqueror looks very similar to one that I gave to Splattman. They're really pretty with the sunlight streaming through them! Smile

I believe that it's possibly an Anacortes Vitro. I'll see if I can find the pics of it, along with a few others with opal-ish bases that seem to be from the same time frame.

Thanks Lizzy!! The first one has me... being a 5/8"s. The patch isn't like any Vacor patches that I have. The *quality* of the patch is much better than a Vacor, if ya can get my drift. The Vitro is really neat and I wish that it was in better condition. It's the first one that I have found like it. I have had better luck finding Opals than this type. I was kinda happy getting the Blackie Shooter too. I didn't have one in red this size and it is mint/like new.

I did Galen and it is OPAQUE Black.. no light passes through. I did forget to add this one to the mix as it was in the same jar. Measures just under 1 1/2".
