Seems hard to come by. Anyone have pics?

I think there were some Koko articles in the WV newsletter but, sadly, I let my subscription lapse. And I haven't seen much original koko packaging. .... *leaves to go start a thread about that*

Love it!

I didn't catch any marble bouncing in this one but they mentioned adding sand, soda ash and feldspar for hardness and durability.

Thanks. ... I'm also interested in this part, "Like glass for stained-glass windows and water tumblers, marble glass has a soft lime base, which makes an immie so resilient that it will bounce from the hardest pavement without breaking." Is that hype? Were marbles stronger back then than they are now?

... and of course in case anyone is reading this without knowing the history of M.F. Christensen and Akro, it was interesting how different that was from the history as we know it today.

California Agate Co. (The caption has one or more errors in it -- for example, that isn't Frankie's father -- but still a great pic.)

Thanks, Andy.

This is The Stephanie. Not every Ace with these combos is a The Stephanie. Probably only this one is. One name/description given to them is "Pink Champagne on Ice". Photo by Bob.

:) Here's a thread just for showing off Jabos. Names and dates are cool. And so is just showing them. Edited to add: Jabos and any marbles made with the help of Dave McCullough after 1990.

Yay!!!! And those are beauties, Edna. Good to see you kicking too, Lloyd.

This is my very hottest marble. No glow pic at this time, but it scorches. It's hand-gathered. Best guess to date is it came in a Gropper Opal Agates box and could be Pelt.

That Jabo caught me by surprise! (Your other glowers are sweet, too. )

almost like being there

Well, it's gorgeous. Is it really antique?
-
wow ... where is that from?

Just to clarify, 1930's and later, right?
