Vintage Vitro Agate Marbles collection. A close look at early Vitro marbles produced at the Vienna, West Virginia plant . Focusing on the styles that were made between 1932-1945 . Including identification tips on Tri-Lites, Superiors, Aquamarines, Buttermilks, Fancy Tiger Eyes and more. Descriptions of the marble types are meant to be a basic guideline, always consider that there are variations, hybrids and oddballs of each style.

Hi Stephen -- any chance on a Vitro update? I still watch your marble videos over and over. I learn something new each time. Your videos are a godsend for the beginning collector. Hope all is well with you.

Hi Gabriel and thank you for the suggestion. I will come back to Vitro and maybe show my entire Vitro collection with identification tips. I’m currently working on a Mid-Atlantic video and Alley Agate, I can get to Vitro soon after.

Great video I like the way you displayed them on the multi holed round flower frog and flat candle holders super idea being the marbles stay put in the holes. I am going to look for some of them in antique and thrift stores as well as yard sales to display some of my marbles. Thanks for the information clear photos. Peace and be good to each other. Stay safe stay inside flatten the curve save lives.

Thanks for the great videos Stephen! I am wondering if you have done a video talking about the measurements of the marbles to help determine and identify them? You really do make learning and collecting marbles interesting, I have learned so much in the past couple of weeks

@@stephenbahrmarbles trying to identify the collection I have is starting to eat away at my brain, and I talk about marbles all the time now. I love getting up really early before the rest of my family, making my coffee, putting on old records , and having an hour to myself to learn, research or examine my collection. I had a collection I picked up a garage sale years ago and recently I picked up a tub at the thrift store which had big Tom bowlers in it that I had never had before and down the rabbit hole I fell. I have the tiniest sweetest little baby cat’s eye and I just don’t see a lot of littles like that.. I also have some really interesting translucent ones, deep deep teal, deep purple... so pretty and so interesting. Again thanks for your videos they really have helped me become way more obsessive..lol.

Quick question. When you are covering the Parrots towards the end of the video. In the same glass plate there's a blue based marble that is not the "Blue Devil". It kind of looks like a Master Marble blue based brushed patch marble. Did Vitro make a marble like that as well?

Hi Bazooka, that blue one in the middle, and the other two that I called “Conquerors” are actually very bold Japanese Pincer boulders. I hadn’t realized it at the time. Thanks for bringing that up ⬆️

Hi Alvin, you would want to be identify some of the more colorful ones. Those are usually the priciest. Go to the Marble Collector’s boards , there’s plenty on Facebook- and watch more videos like this. General values can be found on EBay when you search ended auctions. There’s alot of layers to the hobby so there’s no quick fix. You may want to keep some of your favorites. Good luck !

I don't use conqueror in my names for the older Vitro types. I just call them Vitro Exotics and Vitro Fancys. The names Victory and Conqueror were given to two new marble types named in honor of America's place in WWll and to the veterans that secured that place. These names should stand where they were issued. Conqueror is too hard to spell and has too many letters to type anyway. Nice video, Steve.
