Hi.

I know you probably get hundreds of these requests.

but the identification of cats eyes is blowing my mind,and giving me head ache.😆.

Im a novice,so starting from the bottom.

Can someone help.

Are all these from one maker, (factory/era,?

Is ther an easy way to identify?.I have thousands of player size,so i thought i would start with shooters because my eyes are not what they was.

Bottom row varies in size from 22.5mm to 23.5mm

Middle two rows are various from 24mm to 25.5.

Top row are 25.9mm.25.3mm

All diffrent base and size of ribbons,some colour combos are unusual and unique haven't seen before.some have lots of bubbles going on.

I have over time acquired quite a few of these, all found in heavily veiligglas flea market finds, usually with a lot of European sparklers as well. They look sort of like a cats eye where the color core separates out instead of connecting in. All bought in Germany so unlikely to be US manufactured ones. No pontils.

I lucked into a bunch of free marbles at a yard sale today - about 200 I would guess.

This marble is large - what I believe is call a shooter.

Anyone know if this is new production or vintage? The lot of marbles looked mixed to me, new and old.

Any idea who made this one?

Thanks.
