If you want to see more pictures of the South African trip, go to my web site santasbling.com and click on web links and go down to the 3rd line down and click on that. It will take you to the National Geographic portion where the pictures are located. I hope you enjoy them because I sure loved the vacation!!! Rich

I sent you a PM but remember I gave you my new address at the show.

R.I.P. Clyde my friend

Fire polishing means you totally heat the entire marble's surface of the sphere to make it as smooth and round as it can get which includes removing the original pontils.

I emailed the web master to see if he could change the right side color. Thanks

I don't understand????? Try goig to the home page, click on "Glass" and scroll down to the Jabo History portion and click on the years you'd like to see. Please let me know if this works. Thanks

Hummmm on my Mac santasbling.com quickly loads??? There was an elderly man there at the antique store in West Virginia who collects Jabo and he pulled the 1992 out of his cabinet for me. I checked them with the few 1992 Jabo marbles I had and they matched - fortunately they seemed to come from the same "family."

Took a trip to the beach and saw this....

On my web site santasbling.com you can see the newest pictures of the Jabo runs from the past. These marbles were not available before for my web site but I was allowed to photograph them during my vacation. The 1992 5/8" marbles were found in an antique store. The years 1997, 2000, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007 will show you the 1" marbles made at Jabo. Have fun looking at marble history!

I had a chance to go to the village adjacent to the Lodges and I saw them making trade beads - they were making sky blue that day. I bought a zebra shaped, wire formed figure that was beaded using black and white seed beads. Cost me 70 Rand (about $6.57 US).

Oops, sorry...lol

That little face is an African deer that is being eaten by a leopard. I shot over 12,000 pictures on this trip. Lots to choose from.
