Hello y'all, I was over at my friends house yesterday that was built in the 1910s and we were crawling under the porch and I found this cat eye. It is terribly cracked but all in one piece. I am wondering if y'all can tell me the brand. It had yellow, green, and white ribbons. Too bad it's not old enough to be from.the original owners but oh well, at least he let me keep it

I used the sources that y'all gave me but with no luck. Thank you

thats a marble somebody fried...heat it up in a oven or skillet then put it in water...they crack like that...the process to make cateyes wasnt invented until the mid 50s...they are called crackle marbles...they were used in jewrelry and crafts .... was huge in the 60s....

Thanks, you think it could be a vacor super crystal cateye? It has 6 veins like most vacor cateyes seem to have?

No
A. Wrong colors for Vacor, Mint Green and lemon is more than likely Vitro. Hit it with a UV light.
B. Need a size to TRY to narrow it down as well
C. It is a fried marble and has value only to hobby people, not marble collectors as it is, for the most part, a destroyed marble.
