It’s either an Alley or Jabo WVS. Nice find and great color combo. It’s always fun finding one in the dirt. 🔥

RAR

Ty!! I was kinda feeling like it was jabo-ish but im horrible with id-ing lol. Hopefully others can share their opinions 

I have no clue what it is but I think its pretty 🥰 size is .62

my nephew spotted it in an area we were working/digging in.

ty 😊

I can't get any more pics those were taken by his friend and then my bro texted me the pics. So I haven't seen them in person. 

Why whatcha's thinking about the yellow/red one? 

What should I offer the guy who has them for $ based on what yous can see..

Ty

So my brother has a friend with these marbles, i guess the guy is a collector of ALL things. I don't know what he wants for them and I also know it's hard to know what a mib is without several pics/sides of each. But was wondering if these are anything worth collecting and what would you pay for each container? 

Ps wasn't sure where to post this, hopefully I picked the right category. 

I hope i can get some help here. I see some i think are pretty but lets be honest.. we're all looking for that marble in the ruff lol

8.5 hr trip back to VA with Traffic all the way!  Worth the trip for me and the wife.  Had very specific wants. 

Wow, u came here to CT from VA for the show? I had no idea how BIG marbles were. But im definitely figuring it out! Lol 

those are nice!!! But Im very green when it comes to knowing what they are.. do tell 😁

Yes definitely will get there earlier next year!!! Well, assuming no other plans pop up that is!!! I thought getting there at 1:30 cuz it said it ended at 3 would be plenty of time..nope! Many were already packed up when i got there 🥺 

So I went to the Nutmeg marble meet today. It was 20 mins from my house! I went with the thought of only spending 30 bucks, wanting just pretty ones thar were cheap. Wellllll once I saw them, that 30 dollar cap went right out the window lol 

I met Stephen Bahr, bought a few from him.. marble kings i think lol? And he gave me a 3 pretty player sized MK's (a bee and 2 wasps i believe) because I introduced myself and told him I watch his vids. I met Lawrence Alley the 3rd and got a few from him. I wish I would have gotten more names but by the time I got there, everyone was pretty much packing up 🥺 There was another very sweet older gentleman and I can't remember his name but I believe he was from Maine, I bought a pretty blue Christianson slag-i think he said it was hand gathered? from him and he gave me a lighter blue Christianson peewee swirl 🥰 and told me many have no idea Christianson made peewees because they made so few. I got a couple other things too from..I have no clue? Lol 

Is it inappropriate to post what I paid for them? 

Theres 2 pics of the Christianson slag, it has double 9's

And 2 pics of the Pelt Liberty Hybrid

A shooter MK wasp

Unopened MK's

And a few pretty but cheap ones. Mk's,  Alley's and i dunno if there's another maker in that mix or not? My memory is bad Lol

Anyway..whatcha's think? 🥰

5 or more. Less is a “flicker”.

Ty that's what I thought 😊

Real quick. How many flames/fingers does it take to qualify as a flame? I thought I read 5 or more but I'm also reading 3 or 4?

You are not alone here my friend.
Many of us--including me, have found that collecting marbles is a good way to put the past behind us and to concentrate on the present.
What a trip collecting marbles can be--busy minds and research will help to heal some of the worst thoughts or memories.
The Interweb is full of surprises when it comes to collecting these cute little orbs
Let’s get into it my marble collecting friend and keep the mind busy!
Marble--On!!
 

Awwww thank you for the very kind and understanding words. Definitely need to put things behind me and yeah keeping my mind busy with looking at marbles has definitely been feeding my mind in a great way. 🥰 I hit up a few 2nd hand stores the other day and stuck out lol but it was exciting hoping I'd find some  

again, thank you very much and i look forward to learning and maybeeee someday I can attempt to help ID some vs always asking lol

Thank you for the conformation on them fire 😊

I will gratefully give you my assessment. (I love The ID section)
The size tells the final story here—these are Jabo imho—Not Jabo “Contract” but Jabo production made marbles that were made in the factory and meant for distribution around the world. Collectors will call these “Jabo Classic”. 
Any damage to these is not acceptable today but who knows 40 years from now?
These are not too attractive to the current collectors—just marbles that most of us will save for the future. (I hope that none of us tosses marbles to the trash)
Nice post and nice images—just keep on Marbling on!
 

Thank you very much for the ID's, it truly is appreciated 🥰 I was thinking the green was jabo but for some reason I was thinking the white was vacor. Good to know they're jobos. I plan on making another list with their names/makers and hopefully won't lose it this time lol 

Can't remember where I got them. Either ebay or a tag sale? Guessing Jabos or vacor because i bought some of off ebay over 10yrs ago. But for the life of me i cant remember what they are or where I got them. The white/purplish pink one, I fell in love with because it looks like a heart lol 

Any help would be greatly appreciated 😊

Ty everyone😊

Gosh I love this forum and all the help 🥰

Yes, both Vitro     

Wow!!! Boy im gonna roll lol but uh.. what kind specifically are they? 🫣🤣

And ty for your help 🥰

Agree, Vitro

Yay! I was right lol Any specific kind of vitro tho?

Ty😊😊😊

Are these vitro and if so, what kind? Lol again I state, if I'm wrong don't laugh hahaha 😆 ok..you can laugh a little I guess 😅 

So I'm REALLLLLY trying to learn. Honest I am lol i read something about a V in the seams for vitro. The colors seem like vitro to me also but they're kinda clearish inside, i thought they are more of a solid color inside? So no clue but that's my guess. 

Anyway, can someone help me with these 2 pls n ty 😊 and if they are vitro, what kinda vitro? Lol and if they're not vitro..dont laugh at my guess hahaha 🫣

I was wondering if this was a jabo. Thank you both very much for the help. 😊

And very good to know about jabos and hit marks, I assumed when I seen marks like that, that they were just played with marbles. 

Wow.. im so happy lol i just liked how it looked when i kept it lol makes me wonder if more of those swirls I let go over 12yrs ago we're more Jackson's. Letting all those marbles go I think will be a regret I'll have forever lol

I am completely astounded with how much knowledge Cheese & Charlie has. It's mind boggling. 

Thank you ALL very much for the help. I could hugs yas! 😊

Well, it means it's not the Alley style that I was picturing.  So now I await the verdict on whether it is a Jackson.  

Ok.. we can wait together.. lol 🙃
