The "Score!" thread. Post your exciting finds here...
Ric replied to bumblebee's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
I'd call that a big little score - nice find! -
Another JABO, I think.
-
JABO is my take on it.
-
I'm with Alleys from St. Mary's too.
-
I'm thinking JABO too.
-
I'm with Jeff, this all seems highly dubious to me.
-
Some early JABO Classic Experimentals just for fun, circa 1991-92.
-
Nice marble, Melissa, it sure looks like a pinched "pontil" transitional to me. Many of these came out of Canada but I am not entirely sure about their origins. I do not think they are American made, though.
-
I wouldn't know a "King Marble" if it bit me in the rear. The ones you posted look like Vacors to me. Please clue me in!
-
I think Vitro, Vitro or Marble King, Marble King, Marble King
-
That's a very nice white for St. Mary's. I don't think I've seen it before. Is the base glass translucent?
-
I am happy to report that I apparently was given incorrect information and that George is still with us.
-
I should have been more specific, they are 9/16" - smaller than most.
-
I'm getting down to unlabeled bags . . . all I know is they were together. Any thoughts about their origin will be appreciated 🙂
-
That's a cool one, Art. Is that base glass a little pinkish or is it just me?
-
Another from Jake's stash . . .
-
Just a little group of undersized corkscrews soon to be re-homed . . .
-
I'm not positive but I think this one may be a Rainbo - the base is not what i would normally expect in an NLR. AFAIK Christmas Trees usually have six ribbons and I don't think there is enough red on this marble to even qualify as a "burnt" one - still a cool marble though.
-
Some nice Holly Berries in the group and I'm intrigued by the green on dull white ones, Art. Do any of them glow under UV? As for the Tiger, it sure looks like it experienced some sort of thermal shock but if it was intentional, I think it would be even more "crackled".
-
Hmmm, I don't think it's CAC, Joe. I'd guess Alley, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around the structure - it almost looks like it could be a deformed Akro.
-
Yes, a very nice find! I'd like to see more of the marble third from the left.
-
Thanks, Chad, it's a very cool old logo.
-
It's not, Art, but it's kind of surprising how much it looks like it could be. 🙂
-
@akronmarbles Thanks a lot, Brian, it's good to see you here. Your confirmation means a lot to me. And thanks for showing us some more examples!
-
I'm fairly confident this 1 13/16" lined crockery is from the Standard Toy Marble Company but would like to hear if anyone has other ideas. The little three color is 5/8" and probably German. Any thoughts will be appreciated - more examples of Standard Toy marbles would also be great!
