  1. JABO Joker 1 aka J.E.R.K Run Those ones are Cranberries. Great marbles.
  2. JABO D.T. Special was the first JABO with mica on the outside of the marble.
  3. No lutz swirls in the Kokomo Run that I have found, but there were a select few confettis. I am sure there were some double ingots in the 7/8" range, but these aren't them
  4. What A Tribute for the 4 big in the middle
  5. There needs to be an "everything including the kitchen sink" run. There will be lutz and other metallic swirls in there along with the oxblood and aventurine. All kinds of various fritts will be sprinkled all over them and they will also receive the chemical lustre treatment on top of that. I am talking all in/on the same marble. It will look horrible, but that doesn't matter. Lutz swirls that have been confettied are few and far between and I can only think of one run that had marbles with both lutz swirls and metallic swirls in the same marble so far.
  6. Steph-I haven't heard that particular Chinese marble story before. It must be the red and yellow ones, right? Thanks for sharing and that solves another JABO mystery for me.
  7. Really nice colors but what is that weird perfect circle on top in the second photo. I am feeling a little bit of a human intervention and not just a machine made marble on this one, but am not sure at all.
  8. The Metallic Woodstocks are 3/4" marbles and yes I believe the different sizes were made on different days and yet named the same thing. I like to think that that chair got around.
  9. That blue and yellow swirl on translucent white looks really cool and mysterious. I grew up with a bag of yucky coke bottle foreign cats eyes like the one shooter, but I received them new in the mid 70s. Modern marbles can still be relatively old depending on how one looks at things. The majority are "older."
  10. The 3 previous photos give you an idea about both the 3/4" Lawnchairs and the 5/8" marbles with the same name. They are decent enough to match up marbles in hand with either the Lawnchairs or the Moonglows
  11. Columbusrockhound has a great single photo of the Moonglow Run showing the various marbles in the run at the WVMCC site.
  12. The metallics in the Moonglow Run are also on relatively dark transparent based marbles. The differences are what colors are swirling around on the inside and the different base hues/colors. I need to take some photos to show the differences.
  13. That specific marble happens to be mine, but I have a lot of other metallic swirls from that run too. I have found that metallic swirls can look both shiny or dull. Metallic swirls appear on several different runs of marbles beyond the Lawnchairs.
  14. It's a JABO Moonglow, not a Lawnchair. Many people refer to the Moonglow run as the Lemonade Oxblood Run as that was one of the marbles made during the run.
  15. When this color combo is not a cork and is just a random swirl, a Vacor/Mega Marbles T-Rex fits the bill
  16. Ric-your's looks like a JABO Madyia to me (if its 3/4"). I love those ones with the transparent red in it from that run.
  17. The 98s with blue and brown when the brown is close to that shade is pretty close and I totally understand thinking they could be a match, but the swirl patterns of the brownish color in the marble in question along with all the striations in the blue color separate it from being a JABO IMHO. In the large photo one can make out a three repeat flame like pattern (but no tips) and that basically doesn't happen in most classic 5/8" JABOs. By the way, high five for correctly dating the closest JABO to the marble in question. Respect.
