One thing I have to mention.  I got these from a now deceased friend who collected.  He died in 2013.  So...these have to be prior to then.  Most of his Jabo collection appear to be from the 2008 era.  Also, I have not found any 3/4"ers that seem to fit.  I received them in a small plastic ziploc with the numbered paper and 3 other  3/4"ers.  Perhaps they will help you ID which batch they came from.  

So the Peewees look like "tankwash"?

@Nantucketdink  Hi!  It's been a couple of weeks, but here are the additional pics you requested.  I've been looking on Santa's Bling at Jabo runs between 2007-2008.  The only ones that look anywhere like these are in the Jabo Joker 2nd run "Oxblood Aventurine Series" 3/4".  Are Pee Wees from specifically purposeful runs?  How are they made differently?  Thank you.

Yes.  It is under a 1/2".  I'll try to get those to you soon.

Cool!  As always, thanks y'all!  I'm learning and it's fun

Thanks!

 Need help I-Ding, please!  This one was found in a mixed bag.  All Jabos, circa 2008-2010, I think.  

This beauty is just over 7/8", base light blue, heavy green aventurine, some deep blue swirls, brown in places.

What does it mean to have a crease in a swirl form near where I think the pontil is supposed to be located?  Marble belly button? LOL!  I'm new pardon my off the wall joke attempts... but I am curious.

Thanks!

Ok. So there are few cleary runs.  Can I identify this with one of those?  Like maybe ET?  These are peewees too.  Do all runs have varying sizes?  

Definitely gold, not hit marks

Picture quality could be better

Typical player sized marble.  Not large or small.

Can't tell whether this is a beginning or an end of cane?  Or something totally different...

I have a small bag with a hand written #390075793830 on it.  There are 6 marbles, probably Jabo. 3 are approx 3/4" and 3 are pee-wees.  Trying to identify. "Cleary" of some kind?

Sending several pics...first starting with pee wee.

I think this may be an Akro?  Maker unknown.  There are clearly flecks of Gold Lutz or Mica in it too.  Any ideas who may have created this one and about when?

Thank you!

Not sure what these are, but in my acquired collection, I have this bag labeled #242 for whatever reason.  Inside, there are these cute marbles kind of pastel splotchy eggs...except for the Toe Breaker (?).  The big red one is about an inch and a half in diameter (Toe Breaker?) No clue what their history is.  Suspect modern...but from where?  Any insight would be helpful and MUCH APPRECIATED!  Thank you.

All very cool!  Thank you!

It's a type 4.  Just match it with the photos in the article.  It has green aventurine, the brown, and a red line.

Thank you!  That blue/grey, with what appears to be lutz, confused me.  What causes the brown and blue?  It seems the others have distinctive Cream/white, 2 shades of red, and green colors.  Pretty marble!

From what I've been learning, this one looks a bit like a Jabo JERK Cranberry, just not sure what type it is.  It appears to have a smidge of apricot, but also some blue aventurine, lutz???  Is that possible or is that a mixture of something?

Type 2 Cranberries to be exact

How can I tell it's a type 2 vs a type 1?

Thank y'all!  There will be more to come

Pouring through my acquired marble collection, I found a box of marbles unidentified other than grouped in small ziplocs with #s on them.  There was only one possible identifier, a marble box for 12 marbles.  It is empty.  I searched Google for Jabo Jokers and found Santa's Bling.com which pictured MANY Jabo runs from each year.  I am trying to identify this one run if anyone can assist, please.  Thanks in advance!

Thank you so very much!!! 

What might I call that "dimple" the signature is marked around?  I'm a very newbie here...

Have an interesting swirl marble multi color with nice aventurine throughout.  There is a tiny "dimple" (not sure what to call it) around which is the signature.  I do know MMM is Mad Man Marbles...08 would be the date.  This particular one has a JT, not Jabo before the MMM signature.  What would that mean, please?  Anyone?

Thanks, ahead of time!

I've heard of MMM (madman marbles- Joe Schlemmer) but I have some bags of marbles labeled by a now deceased collector.  They are labeled MAD #40, etc. Titles: Egg & Ketchup, MAD #1 Trans Yellow, White, Wisp of GR ADV; MAD #38 X-mas Tree, GR ADV xx; MAD #13 Bright Red GOES, Heavier GR ADV.. etc.  Does anyone have a clue what the lingo may be?

I think the ADV means aventurine...?

Thanks in advance!

I'm new at doing this, but I think I read you want the ebay links on the main chatboard.  Is this correct?  Please direct me if I did this wrong.

Thank you.
