Most Vitro Agate marbles are patches, though other varieties were also produced. The styles changed over time, so it is fairly easy to approximate the ages of their marbles based on a number of attributes. Vitro Agate patches come in two main styles, identified by their seams. One style has seams that are straight and have palpable crimps into the glass. The other style has one straight seam and other that is shaped like a flattened "U." The seams on both styles are opposite one another on the equator and are perpendicular to the poles.

A Victory is a brushed patch marble that has an opaque color patch on a transparent clear base. This patch covers about one quarter of the marble and, like many Vitro marbles, the patch is usually shaped like an oval with a small "v" or "hook" coming off one end. A Conqueror is basically the same type of marble, but on this variety the remaining three-quarters of the marble not covered by the patch contains brushed opaque white. One variation of the Conqueror is the "phantom conqueror," or 'Opaque' which has translucent white filaments inside the marble. The glass may be opalescent on this latter type. Finally, another variation of the Conqueror has a dull patch as opposed to bright and brushed off-white as opposed to white. On these, the patch seems to often be shaped like a large "V." Victories and conquerors were distributed, as their names might imply, around the period of World War II.

Vitro produced a number of two seam multicolor patch marbles. Many of these have clear and wispy white as one of the colors. When viewed ninety degrees around the marble from the seam, many have a stylized “V” pattern to them. These are called V-patches by collectors.

Can be put in a glass bottle or in a flat case or to use for display in a variety of ways. Great antique items for a collection of marbles. Or a great and unique gift idea for the young collector for or as a Christmas stocking stuffer!!!
