I woke up thinking about brother Bill today and I thought it appropriate to add this photo from last April here. This is a look I have seen more times than I can remember, it's the one that says, "I found a marble in your keeper box and I really don't want to put it back". As you can see, there's already a hole in one of the cases. Bill was such a good friend that I found it almost impossible to say no to him. I mean really, who could resist that face? Fortunately, he was also a generous man and over our many years of friendship things always seemed to work out for both of us. 🙂

All JABO Classics IMO.

Size can be especially important for slag ID.

Not enough to go on with the green one, at least for me. The other is a tough call, it does look more foreign to me but it's difficult to rule out a sloppy Master or even a dug Akro.

I agree completely.

Likely Alley but too orange for a shortcake, at least for me.

Yup - crazy corkscrew.

@Fire1981 Nice Blue Devil, Rick!

I love 'em too. That's a great assortment and nice display. You must have a lot of patience to organize them so neatly.

That's a bunch of marbles. It looks like you have a lot of (fun) work ahead. Happy sorting!

Aren't the Lilacs from Anacortes? And it might just be me, but it seems like they made a lot more marbles with brown on them there too - I think some of those are pretty nice. On the other hand, it also seems like they produced quite a few marbles with a "sheen" on them, which I don't usually care for. And it seems that many of the marbles look more JABOish too. I'd be interested to hear other's thoughts about how production from Anacortes might differ from earlier locations. These are a a couple of types I find pretty attractive . . .

A few big JABO Classics . . .

I have this type too - interesting how it looks like a clear tunnel through the marble, and it's not so uncommon in my experience.

I agree they could be Cairo. I just didn't think the likelihood of finding them in the Netherlands would be very good.

And you may well be right.

I agree.

That's what I suspected. And look at how different its color looks depending on the background. It's always important to make sure that your photo actually matches the marble or attempts at ID can really be stymied.

Parrots have 4 colors. These are Yellow Jackets - the front left just has a bit of extra color. The right front one is the poorest example since someone might argue it's a Black Line All Red with a very diffuse black ribbon and there is no way to prove them wrong.

I agree, although I think that back left one may just be one of the early styles that has a very large and sort of diffuse eye on each pole.

I agree with Vacor.

Thanks for checking. I don't pay too much attention to Akros but I don't think I have seen any corkscrews with moonie base glass before. Looks like it could make for a great marble though!

Don't think the right front has a name and if any are an Antifreeze it would be the back right one. Here's one I gave away a while ago. The base glass is the key IMO.

Oddball cat's eyes IMO.

IMO, maybe Alley (if not Vacor) back right. Champion back left and front right, and leaning Ravenswood or Champion front left.

Master to me - maybe Akro upper left.
