Steve,I am suprised to find out jabo had aventurine marble runs prior to the 2004 superman run,or are we talking about a single marble? I would like to see pictures of these 1997 aventurine marbles.Do they have a name?I include pictures of what I beleive are from the first Jabo aventurine run,superman 2004. On the crucible idea and time frame, let me say I have been thinking about space travel and wrote stories about space travel as early as 1959 . But I have not built a space craft yet . I say if a man is limited by his tools let him build better tools .Steve I need to see pictures.Bo

Steve I got your IM ,tell your funny story here.Bo

I have many Jabo's I am proud to own.But I have to say as an Artist that holding the world's record for the number of colors in a marble may not be as great as it may sound.Some jabo's I have seen have too much color,or the colors are ugly.But if you choose carfully good examples can be found as with all marble makers.Only recently has Jabo made marbles without manufacturing damage built in.Bo

Edna,comparing these marble types to Jabo marbles is like comparing Tai food to Tex Mex.As we all agreed awhile back it's just a matter of taste .We don't all like the same thing equally.I am with Galen here,my favorite is Sellers Peltier and the others mentioned.These Jabo's are beautiful but have not passed the test of time ,yet.Bo

Very nice! Thanks for the pics,Bo

HAVE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Thanks for the ID Roger,I've always wondered who might have made it.So here is another brownie.Bo

Hello all thanks for your interest in this marble.No pressure here because I don't have a clue who made it.I'm not even sure were I got it.The size is 15/16" there are no obvious seams,there are a couple of shallow cold roll marks and a tiny air out (very small no glass missing).Wish I could tell you who dunnit but I'm not an expert I am just a collector.I'm going to a bottle show and an antique show tomorrow so wish me luck.Here are a few more shots ,tell me what you think.Bo

Brown can be beautiful,here's a couple more
