3 Jabos out of a recent antique store Score
Ric replied to marblemanvintagemarbles's topic in Marble I.D.'s
Yes, they are from one or more JABO Contract runs. -
This is a JABO.
-
I also wonder about foreign - like Veiligglas, maybe?
-
Early Vacor is what I would be thinking too.
-
Veiligglas VS Hopf - information about Wirepulls
Ric replied to TheVacorFan's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Some day, I will try to take individual photos of the marbles in that CODEG box, AIko. Your last comparison of the marble I got from Winnie with the one in the box is part of the reason I still think the boxed marbles are Veiligglas. 🙂 -
I don't think I have another but I'll keep a lookout for you, Chuck. You never know . . .
-
The JABO Classic runs are not named per se, but they can often be described by the season (mostly Spring or Fall) and year of the run (1992-2008), and I think Dave McCullough named a very small number of specific types himself over the years.

@chucks_mibs Here you go - a Dark Red Cloud (CA#5) next to a Red Cloud (CA#4) for comparison.

Happy Birthday, Chad - I hope you have a great day!
-
@chucks_mibs Ahh, Vegas for quite a while now, I guess it has been a while. 🙂 Let me poke around and see if I can find a dark red cloud. I'd be kinda surprised if I didn't have one somewhere. And you should check out Stephen Bahr's YouTube videos on El Aguila - they made some really nice marbles.
-
Given that this is a nice enough marble, and odd enough that you're having a time getting a handle on it, and the colors (especially that yellow in the first pic and the splotchy orange), and the fact that you are in California, I would encourage you to also think about early Vacor possibilities - El Aguila, perhaps, it sure wouldn't surprise me.
-
I'm with Fire.
-
It looks a bit more Akro than Master to me too. But I need to learn more about El Aguila - that wouldn't surprise me either.
-
It looks a different for a Vitro All Red but I think that's what it is - maybe just chalk it up to the large size.
-
It looks like a Master to me.
-
This one looks like Ravenswood to me.
-
I want to say Vacor "Tidal Wave".
-
Thanks @Nantucketdink ! Any idea what the 1992 pre-Classics look like? Do you know if there even are such things?
-
I'm with Alan on this one. Not every marble is worth having. If it was mine, it would never be seen again.
-
It does look like there might be something sparkly in there Joe, but you know how hard it can be to tell for sure from pics. I think a lot of times what sparkles is just some excess colorant that precipitates out of the glass mixture - just some sort of chemistry happening.
-
I agree, you're building quite an MK collection.
-
Looks contemporary, what size is it? Do you see any artists marks on it?
-
For a proper ID, the most important thing is that the marbles in photos look like the marbles in hand, with respect to color and sharpness.
