PamH Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Hi ... I thought I was starting to be able to identify them via all the books I've purchased, and online photos.. .but... I have 2 yellow/black ones.. well, one is more orange/black... I think one is a "bumblebee" but not ever sure... I have taken 2 different views, let me know if more sides are needed for better view. I had some trouble with my photo size being too large, so tried to resize them down. Thanks... and these marbles are so cool, so different, yet so confusing!

Al Oregon Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 3 looks Jabo. 1 also could be. 2 looks foreign. 5 is Vitro. 6 is probably Vitro Whitie. 4 is one made by most companies - looks like it may have been in water for a log time or something to give it that "frosted" look.

Steph Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Agree. Jabo on the top three. So after 1990, probably after 2000, since I think the one with the bumblebee colors came from 2003 or 2004. Vitro Tiger eye on #5. Vitro Whitie on #6. (Tiger Eye from the 1950's. Whitie from 50's or 60's.) Al, what is it that they do to give it the frosted look? I forget. Is it acid wash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted September 30, 2017 Report Share Posted September 30, 2017 Welcome to the board. I think #1 looks like a Vitro Blackie - I agree with Al and Steph on the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PamH Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Thanks for all the fine info... so, how does the bumblebee differ from the one(s) above? By the way, I added a photo of most of my marbles in the "about me" section... if anyone takes a glance please let me know if my life fortune is among them... haha... Thanks again!

It's the pattern. Here are some Marble King bumblebees I photographed recently. (Forgive the shade -- they came out slightly green-tinted in the picture.) Your Jabo is a sort of "swirl" with one long ribbon of black. The MK bumblebee has what is known as a "patch and ribbon" color distribution. Two seams. Multiple ribbons in a particular pattern. (There's also a Peltier Bumblebee with a different pattern, but same principle.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing jumps out at me as something which would fund your retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nantucketdink Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 The top left JABO sneaks in just before 2000. If the bumblebee looking one is a JABO it would be from 2003. I can't positively attribute the third marble to JABO, but it probably is. my JABO 2 cents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
