The price on many Vitros is going up, up, up and the prices on the some of the more traditional sought after types like Akro Popeyes is dropping fast. Several standard Popeyes were available for under $15 and nobody was buying them. If the trend continues, by this time next year, a Yellowjacket will be going for the same price as a Popeye. Perhaps Vitro is starting to get the attention and respect it deserves. Has anyone noticed the price on Fisher Jewel Trays? Waaaaaaaaay up from a year ago.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Ponkochan</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat Oct 27, 2007 3:05 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Randy, thanks for sharing your thoughts on these, because it helped clear up a 'grey' area for me.

I can't call it a hybrid because half or more of them are mixed in colors. Gladding made lots of cats with eight veins. Mostly the veins are on the inside, sometimes they fan out, and sometimes they are horseshoe shaped. These cats do not line up in Peltier fashion (alternating) at the cutlines. <br /> <br />I passed over Bob's marble as a misidentified Gladding mib. Immediately, I passed over Terry's mib as well. I did, because both colors of veins are perfect Gladding color matches. <br /> <br />However, now that I look at them, I am not certain. Surely, the ribbons match up. If they are 8 fingers, I probably have a bunch of them in the 500lb stack of Gladding cats. I think I might go blind looking for them. <br /> <br />I only have one 8 fingers on a colorless base. These are what I am accustomed to viewing: <br /><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd239/randygo2007/V8f.jpg" border="0" /> <br />The top third yellow mib is the only one which does not light up. <br /> <br />And here are some oddities with only five fingers, and one which fell off the rollers: <br /><img src="http://i224.photobucket.com/albums/dd239/randygo2007/V5f.jpg" border="0" /></span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>Poplarhead</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Fri Oct 19, 2007 5:27 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: 8 Finger Cats</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">The green and orange 8 finger styles were almost always cracked due to orange color. Most of these were originally found by one individual who found them at a craft store going out of business. He neded up selling a bunch to Bob Block at Columbus Show a few eyars back plus other collectors. The people that selectively collect these know that and probably the reason this one went high.
