Just doesn't look Imperial too me either, I have one with similar colors and also loaded with av...

I was going to reach and suggest, maybe, a Master patch, but I am wondering if this could be a Pelt...

Your on fire with a great run of marbles, Melissa 👍😊

Oh boy, Disco Fever!

I've got a jarful somewhere, I think it's on the right track being a Vacor. That's what I always thought about mine anyway 😊👍

Very pretty! I'll ×2 on the Jabo! Like it 😊

Yes, how big? Love it 😊

That is a nice color combo 👍

Some are a little worse for wear but that happens when you've been around for a while 😊

Nice colors 👍

Thinking a itsy bitsy Akro...

😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

I can see what appears to be the AV when I blow up the pics...yay Melissa, nice catch 👍

Whoops I meant Old River Valley 😁

Hooray for the Rooster 😊

Oh nice!

Throw it in your calipers for a quick pic 😊

I'm a little excited to hear more opinions on this marble, Melissa 👍

More fun helmet stuff...my buddy Dean cutting the air vent holes with a dremel, then sanding off the excess flak, while shaping it, on a sanding belt. Finally, we sand by hand all the rough edges inside the air vent holes and hit the edges with a 400 grit buffer before they get sent to shipping. Man, this stuff is fun! Going to miss it!

You know, while I'm thinking about it, I've always wondered if we could have came up with something for the NFL. So many concussions in recent years. Great job on their recently incorporated concussion protocol that's in place. But, I have still watched games where there have been bad calls made regarding contact between players. The players in question remained in the game instead of being removed. It would have been another challenge to come up with a prototype too compete with Riddell. I think Miken could have gave them a run for their money regarding helmet design!

Pretty sure the helmets are with Rawlings/ MLB exclusively. I am not aware of any dealings at the retail or even the collegiate levels. As the game of baseball advanced, with more pitchers throwing harder, faster pitches, injuries were on the rise. That's when we developed these batting helmets not to many years ago. It's literally amazing the amount of force these helmets can absorb. As the game has evolved, it's more commonplace to see pitchers hitting 103-105 mph fastballs. A handful can exceed that. The helmet can handle it.

Vacor, of course...😉

I know not all Jabo's have the infamous crack, but I will lean that way a bit...but not 100%
