Interesting read Duffy. I read that Beri said that they could make glass in house. That would be cool to see happen, but I wonder if its cost effective.

If anyone wants a copy I have one for sale, cheap. Sorry to say I can not recommend anyone buy the pamphlet. Feel free to email me for a complete review.

Thats too bad. I have a couple copies on order myself.

Hard to say, but I personally wouldn't bet on it. The difference between the new Jabos and antique marbles being that the new Jabos were made then instantly put into collections. Antique marbles were not. They were played with, lost, thrown away...etc. Basically, in my opinion, Jabos were made by collectors for collectors and there are plenty to go around. Some of the exceptionally nice examples my fetch premiums later on. I have many of the different runs myself, but I did not buy them as an investment.

Almost forgot...We snuck off for a camping trip (a few days before the anniversary, but I had to work). And here is a picture of my birthday/anniversary gift from the wife. His name is "Chewy". And he likes to stand on two legs and beg for food.

Heading out.....

All set up....

Chewy....yep, he's short....

Thats a big advantage in not fogetting the anniversary date. That could have been a help to me a few times.

For sure its an advantage. And for her birthday, I use her birthdate as my drivers number on my demo cars. I got it all covered. LOL

September 1st......If I ever forget, I can step out into the garage and look at the door of my car.

What Rich said! Did filling it so fast take some of the fun out of "the hunt"?

Thanks everyone. It was a great day. My birthday (July 4th) is also the wife and I's anniversary. 3 years married now. Thanks again everyone.

Looks like you own some very nice lenses. I have the 16-35 and 100 macro as well. My two favorites I own are my 600 f/4 IS and my 85 f/1.2. Nice site!

That is awesome!

I'm in.

Me too, locked and loaded. LOL :ph34r:

Looks like some very nice examples in there! I see a few ribbon cores in the I believe.

Sure are alot of Jabo's on Ebay!

Yes there is. On a slightly different rant, Ebay sure is raping sellers with fees and paypal fees. I hadn't sold on ebay for quite some time. Then my sister just sold an item and she told me what ebay/paypal charged her, and I nearly fell out of my chair. What a racket.

good job Winnie!

One more thing. Catfish, I was not addressing you specifically. I was addressing all the people who post the negative stuff before they could get going and have my post become a flame off. You just happened to post what the "collective negative folks" have repeated over and over. My apologies if you thought I was addressing you specifically. Edna

All is good.

I really like that yellow/white/green crossthru....and 1"!!! Holy Smokes!

Is the flame off over already? I just found my kerosene.

LMAO.

"Side with Galen, nothing can be done, they're already out there" Please stop now before this gets turned into a raging flame off. This is a place to post the beautiful marbles I got in West Virginia. If you want to have a flame off save it for the post I'm making as soon as I finish this. The title will be "Flame Off". And please wait to post until I am finished. I will post on it that I am finished. You can rant all you want to on it and Steph can move it to the other place.

Wow, you should try the decaffinated version. I was in no way starting a flame off. Way to jump the gun.

I have to side with Galen on this. But, nothing can be done. The marbles are out there already. Time to study the Jabos more and educate oneself.

I saved the best for the last marble. On the backside of this unusual trilite is a ribbon of BLUE AVENTURINE. Couldn't believe my eyes. I showed it to Dave McCullough and he made the remark about Louis Moore experimenting. There must be more than one out there and it looks pretty deliberate, not accidental to me. The blue aventurine is a wide strip and aventurine is throughout that ribbon.

Again, the black specks on the white glass are my "spit bath" attempts that didn't get the ink all off.

Very nice!

Just as long as they're not groper marbles. Or then I'd have to call the copper marbles.

LOL

But my favorite, hands down, is the first one in the second row . . . WOW.

My thoughts as well. Lovely group Winnie!

Woot Woot!

Came across a couple cool pelts as well, the first one is a fruit cocktail I think and the other one? It is a clear base with yellow/white/black ribbons. One of the ribbons has aventurine. What do you guys think?

Craig

Those are outstanding! Made me nearly faint!

And I have never even seen the beach......

Nice shots everyone!
