Oh yes they did--they used to be the bane of my collecting. They were all over the place. Softer glass, little white hit marks, all sizes. To find a bigger one like you have without any damage is a bonus for sure. The Jabo Factory in it's later years, allowed "contract marbles" to be made. A bunch of marble nut's got together and forced this issue. Money was spent and Dave McCullough (rip), was there to oversee most of it. Here is a good link that gives the basics. https://www.westvirginiamarblecollectorsclub.com/jabo-inc-contract-runs Marble--On!!

Ok Fire thanks! Not a solid core🌞. I am glad that you have it . Memory is not my greatest asset. Killer marble though!! Marble--On!!

Me too. The run is not a "run" the majority of what you show are Jabo "Classics" or marbles made by Jabo for general sales throughout the world. Machine made, factory made, production types. Just imho--more opinions are needed for sure and I appreciate them all. Marble--On!!

Nice marble--nice find as well. I just love this stuff! Marble--On!!

Thanks Cheese. Marble--On!!

Cool stuff Fire--love them and that you kept them. Marble--On!!

"Lined Crockery" Nice size. These came glazed and unglazed--older than Peltier for sure. Nice marble! Marble--On!!

Yes x2--- Marble--On!!

I wonder what the one in the upper left is??? The white one thats shows two red stripes. Nice mix, I would call it a score. Marble--On!!

I believe that it is--I think that I traded this one away--so not quite sure. Marble--On!!

Of course they did--no argument here. I am glad to see the edit here Marble--On Cheese Commercial, in the earlier days did make their own glass--they had to. I am am glad to see that you edited as well Alan. I just love this stuff and I like to see that we can backoff and accept each others opinions. Marble--On!!

Stay away is all that I can say-no CAC--maybe a Vitro---maybe-- Marble--On!!

All dug as far as I know--nice lookers though. Marble--On!!

I agree Al some really fine marbles. I wish that I could find a few more like this---maybe?? Marble--On!!

It could be an Akro--I would sort it as a Vitro though. Marble--On!!

This is my vision--- A youngster back in the 20-30's--male or female was playing with marbles in the living room. It was winter--just after Christmas. The house-cat got a-hold of one and it rolled down the cold air exchange and back into the coal fired furnace--Mom kept the cold air return quite clean back then. After an up-grade to a more affordable fuel oil furnace🥶😁. This marble was found. An Akro “Turquoise” slag. Yah, I dream about this stuff and have had it happen too. Just a dreamer-- Marble—On!!

X2 nice find!! Marble--On!!

Nice "Parrot", The toe smashers are not easy to find with great coverage such as yours. Marble--On!!

I have not posted this one for awhile--I call it elegant. I cannot recall the size--3/4"?? Straight on then backlit--Backlight them all! Marble--On!!

I like this idea-- @Melissa ?? Marble--On!!

The WVS are a sticky thing that I cannot get a grasp on--I just know one when I see them--the maker??--No luck here--so far. You are a respected member here and you know more than I can say in this limited text. No disrespect is intended. You already said your evaluation and I respect it along with the others that chimed in. You will step in where it is needed, that much I know. I respect all opinions and hope to see some more. Respect! Marble--On!!

There are always exceptions Fire—this may or not be one of them. Marble—On!!

I would wait for some more opinions before making any judgment. Marble--On!!

Akro marketed "Cardinal Reds" in a box marked as such in both slags and corkscrews--be carefull while looking. Killer marbles, both of the styles. Marble--On!!

Akro imho, I appreciate all opinions--especially when it is snowing out❄️. Marble--On!!
