One of a kind. Amazing spirit. This is hard to grasp.

Sure looks like a match. That was a high level discussion in that thread. I never did learn how to distinguish between the different types of pontils. Even if it looks like a match, I suppose it's possible that they could have been made on different continents. From that discussion it sounds like one pontil could mean it was made in Germany and a different pontil could mean it was made in America.

It's okay to do more than one. Up to four is generally considered manageable. But posting one at a time does get more individual attention, so to speak.

Welcome! Nice assortment.

Edna isn't online anymore. I miss her. Nantucketdink is Josh. 👍

Hello. Welcome. I'm relieved to see that the photos are still in this thread. They're hosted at Edna's old picture site so I wasn't sure they would still be available. I will put this thread on my list for importing the photos to our own hosting. Josh is still around and he's my go to with Jabos. Good luck! @Nantucketdink

Beautiful. Sadly I have not read most of my books. One of my projects is to try to distill the thousands down into a mere five bookshelves of favorites. The attic is full of boxes. Every now and then I pull a box out, choose a couple of books to save, and take the rest to a secondhand store. I adore old textbooks. And old do-it-yourself books. And cookbooks. And mid-1900's fiction with colorful covers. Mostly I like the looks of them. But I have a few classics that I actually like to read and re-read.

Sweet memory to treasure

It is possible that I've seen them in catalogs or other advertisements but it has been a long time. I wonder if I could put my hands on any of the ads.

Hi. Welcome. Maybe I did learn more about them at one point or another. I can't be sure when or where I learned it. I just have the general impression that they are German marbles from the early 1900s.

Beautiful. Congratulations. And thank you. You are a most worthy ambassador of marbles.

The hit marks do appear to have a Jabo quality to them.

Hello. Welcome. Because of the pattern on the larger marbles in the photo, and a general consistency among the rest, I'm estimating the 1960s for your group.

Mmmmm .... pieeeee. Happy Thanksgiving!
