these were the sparklers. They were a touch larger than the beachballs in the same sealed bag

Mojo-this is great documentation of other types beyond beachballs being made in Ilmaneau. I had a factory bag that had beachballs and 3 euro sparklers in it, but hadn't seen any other different types before or since until now. This means they made at least 3 different types of marbles there. Its actually important documentation

This is Columbusrockhound's picture of some 99s

This is santasbling's picture of some of the Fall 99 5/8" Classics

I can’t remember if it’s a 99 or 02 or even a different year. Believe it or not I can’t remember the exact run of all zillion different color combos every single time.

I don’t have pictures ready to go but am very familiar with this exact color combo. There is no doubt at all that this is a JABO Classic.

And they also made this one

I believe that is a machine made instead

This is the Jade family

Looks like JABO to me too

Might as well throw my dug Jackson’s in here.

Happy Halloween!

All my purple German slags are under 3/4”. Interesting. Anybody have big (3/4” plus) purple German slags?

I took some pics of some German slags in the 3/4” range that show some slightly non typical traits. None seem like a match but it’s always nice to see different patterns.

That is extremely helpful info. So both are about 3/4”. The German striped transparent/opaques that I find all seem to be in the close to one inch size. I have a few in the 3/4” size, but you can tell they are a different type than the bigger ones. The German slag sizes are all over the place and feel like there may be 2 or more makers. It would be great to figure out how many different slag makers there were in Europe. I have no problem believing there could have been a French maker.

Mojo-would you please measure the 2 slags for us. I am interested in following through with your ids in more detail

Because the picture is not as clear as it should be, it opens the door to more possibilities than are probably necessary. In the fuzz it is hard to tell if white is coming in or it is more mossy base. Anacortes was a thought from me, but just a passing thought

How big are the red and blue slags?

JABO Bloody Jade in there. Bet you can guess which one with that name. Nice example of mottling on that One Alley.

That is likely a JABO tankwash

Well maybe I do have some similar blue German slags

I think guessing German slags on the first 2 would be the safest guess. No I don’t have ones resembling either, but it’s a logical guess.

The second one is actually a JABO instead of Vitro. It’s a good example of a JABO “butt crack” though so that takes care of that Classic pattern.

If it was big I was thinking maybe German beachball, but that’s a wrong thought. I swear I have a couple of these but without blue that were sourced in Europe that I assumed Asian made or some other unknown maker. Wish I put them somewhere where I could find them to revisit and compare.
