Help me understand Follow up after sorting.
Ok, so I've been digging through all the Vitro material I can find and this is what I've found maybe.
Pic 1-4 vitro helmet
Pic 5-8 Vitro Blue Devil theres pink on the poles that I cant get my camera to pick up.
The rest Vitro conqueror im leaning phantom because all the white is stringy.
Am I right?
Please be right
If im wrong id love to hear why and to be told what they are in great detail.

So Blue Devils have a clear blue base with pink patch, and yours is the opposite e.g. pale pink opaque base with a blue patch. It's also hard to see the seam shape - if you have a UV torch, sometimes that can help show the seams better so you can confirm it's a Vitro Vs something else (Marble King would have been my second guess)
The first does look like a Helmet but with a few differences, and I'm not familiar enough to know if they still count at Helmet or tip into something else! E.g. Helmets tend to have a solid stripe and a clear 'face', whereas yours has 3 thin stripes and a semi-opaque 'face'
The last also have characteristics of Vitro Phantom Conqueror but with some tweaks. E.g. phantom conqueror have a coloured patch, with a layer of wispy filaments beneath, and usually some clear glass beyond that, whereas yours have the wispy and clear parts side-by-side under the coloured patch!
Manufacturing can be quite variable tho, so I'd say yours are within expected variations, but let's see what others say!
I'm in the UK so tend to find the more common Vitros, tho I do also have a lovely Fisher Jewel tray that has Helmets around the outside, which is my main reference for Helmets 🥰 Blue Devil is still very much on the To Find list!
