Nice group of big ones! And I am with you, there are few things that I enjoy more than sorting marbles!

It's tough to capture in a photo . . . If you don't look really closely, it can look like a very dark blue/black in hand (left).

You're doing good! In general you'll have better luck with the mibs on a non-reflective surface.

Jumpin' jimminy man, now THAT's a marble! Rare as hen's teeth - thanks for sharing!

I was really thinking only about specifically named JABO Classic marbles, like Hot Tamale, Ghost, Tie-Dye, Sweet Potato Pie, etc. I might be wrong, but I don't think there are that many specifically-named JABO Classics. It's JAY-BOW as in BlueJAY and RainBOW. Classics are the marbles that JABO manufactured for play from about 1992-2007 and, yes, many of the larger ones had little white hit marks.

This is wild . . . Swiss Cheese Vane? lol

That's crazy cool! Looks like a piece of oven brick to me. Here's a "Whispy" Cat.

That one is really nice, Chuck!

Not sure, WIlliam . . . It's giving me an Akro/Vitro vibe.

Cool pics, William!

I don't collect contemporaries but I have a few. These 1" marbles are unsigned - my guess is Jody Fine made them, but if someone else has a better idea I'd like to hear about it.

Not many of the JABO Classics or specific Contract Run marbles have names, as far as I know. It might be fun trying to assemble a list of the named examples though.

I'd like to have a nice set of single vane cat's eyes but they have proven elusive.

Check Atterbury Glass on Ebay, I think there are a few of them.

I am thinking it's a pickle/olive (relish) boat (tray) and not an ashtray - the little cut-outs may have cradled a little serving fork or spoon. Atterbury Glass, maybe.

I'd guess a single-seam CAC outlier - some might call it a diaper fold, although I haven't heard that term for years.

Newer JABO is my guess, not sure which run.

There is hope, Tommy! But you probably shouldn't hold your breath while you're looking! 🙂

Lot's of Alleys have a UV-reactive base - I wouldn't call that one a Pistachio.

Wow, there are some great oxblood marbles in this thread!

Champions

I'd guess Alley here too.
