This one is a Jabo "classic"--all day long. A Jabo "Classic" is one that was made at the factory for world wide distribution--a production marble. Nice find and a nice ask! Marble--On!!

The tin box and the insert boxes in the tin box are the thing here as far as I am concerned, not the marbles. You can back-fiil this tin with marbles--there are a few Akro included already--the tuff thing is getting the insert boxes and you have them here. A poutch will be a hard find as well. The bigger insert held the poutch. I just love these tins and if you need any advice--just PM me. Nice find! Marble--On!!

X3---not a bad Imperial though--- Marble--On!!

I agree with Vitro. You have to clean these up a bit and polish them for a better ID--I can see you in the reflection--good job! But I know that you can do better--a micro soft towel with a wipe or two is all that it takes. Marble--On!!

@Al Oregon may know these. I have not seen this bag before as far as I can recall. I am glad to see that the name is advertised as far as the maker/seller of this bag goes. It carries the attributes of a vintage bag of marbles, including the seam on the bag itself. The staples are just wrong. This one saw too much sunlight and the header—the tag that is attached to the bag, is wilted and washed out. It is just a knockoff that carries--- imho—newer Marble King marbles. I am sorry to say that there is little value here. It is a cool find for sure! Marble—On!!

Thats a big marble and I just love it for what it may be. I suggest that this is an older Vitro that had some fire damage either from a house fire or just an old fire pit. The marbles out of outhouse digs would not show this type of wear---well, maybe they would according to the acidity of the givers🙃 Nice marble regardless— Marble—On!!

I cannot help here--it looks like a dug jabo to me--there were never any dug Jabo---yet--LOL. Marble-On!!

This one is an Akro imho. It was undergound for awhile imho. Marble--On!!
-
Funny thing here, I do not think that it glows not Pistacio imho--stiil an Alley and a nice one. Marble--On!!
-
Champion? Marble--On!!

Please refer to the the folks here by the prefered avatar names, rather than the actual real name that you may be privy too. I am privy to all of the actual names here and if you catch me calling them out--name me in capital letters. I can always take a lump or two--maybe three yet🫣. Marble--On!!
-
Peltier, as far as I know, made many models in a pee-wee size. So why not include these?. Marble--On!!

Black ashtrays is a general term. Akro made many ashtrays in many different sizes and shapes..... Here is a Black Akro Ashtray, part of another company’s line of popup cigarettes novelties. I have had this one for some time, the cigs were more like a buck 50 back then---yuck. You can backlight this glass and it will shine through—as black—only black. Akro—On!!

Transparent Yellow Base with Cream White Patch

I always thought that vitro made these--no names come to mind. It could also be a wonky Jabo. Marble--On!! -
Imp X3--Marble--On!!

It would be refered to a a guinea type at the least. Lots of these are produce by a variety of folks. This one is a bit odd with all of the wear that it shows. It is worth putting in your pocket and bringing to a show. Marble--On!!

This is a nice example of a marble that I have never seen before. You may look at the oxblood and overlook the white. It is quite a nice white--deep and rich. This one was made with a torch involved imho and my first impression was a "Bulgarian". Do not get me wrong--I just love it--it is just not that old. This is one that I would not mind holding in hand--very cool! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Check for a signature here. Marble--On!!

Matsuno and Seike, Japanese veneered marbles
akroorka replied to shiroaiko's topic in General Marble & Glass Chat
Great stuff here shiroaiko, A great share! I get lazy too--today I am quite lazy but my fingers still work. I was never a typist--click, click, click, one by one😁. -
Several companies made "Corals"--they are pretty cool to hold and look at--I think that Champion made a version as well. I could be wrong but---I just like-em and never really cared who made them. Marble--On!!

They are both CAC imho--no names are applied to these. They are not too shabby for a more common CAC swirl. Marble--On!!
