sissydear! Please keep posting pics! I got my vitro's out. I think I found two sweet peas. Maybe 2 of the last marbles under Vitro's name! And I think a few yellow jackets! It really helps to see five of the same. Because they are not exactly the same! Thanks so much! So practice and practice on posting! LOL, Windy

Thanks for the pics Edna! I'm a Vitro collector and I've saved all your pics for future reference. I hope you don't mind but they are just awesome and way better that pics in books!

Rhonda, I have a lot of tiger eyes. There are so many color combinations. I'm working on another project right now or I would do pics of some tigereyes for you. Back in the mid 90's when I started collecting vitro, the men collectors laughed at me. But, when they found some vitro they saved it for me. I'll bet they are not laughing now. I even had one say to me "when I write my book on vitro, can I take pics of your marbles?" LOL I'll keep in mind that there is some interest in vitro now and post more pics.

Here are some of my blackies. The large ones are 1 inch and the smaller ones are 5/8. The ones in the first row have the pattern of blackies, but sometimes have other names. Some yellow jackets have this pattern, and people have even called the ones with a red band where the black usually is reddies. The white ones with black bands are sometimes called whities, but in the company literature they are called blackies.

I know what you mean about collecting Vitro lol. When I decided that's what I wanted to collect I got more than a few "why's" saying they were so "last week" LMAO
I just love the color and variety. I also like and collect corks and have my share of pelts I won't part with but I only need 1 of each of what I don't collect and I'm happy, at least I can say I have one. The rest I sell to buy more Vitros lol. I am getting ready to sell some of the vitros that I have 12 million of the same one......need to make room.

Awesome boxes! These ones I cropped? I think they are one of the best looking Vitro marbles. And not to easy to find either. I think they should get a name. I've sold or given away all mine in the past.

Those are awesome! I have a couple of that kind but haven't found anymore. Maybe Galen will name them for us Rolling Eyes

LOL
