Here are a couple pics I have saved over the years - Ron Shaw on one and Kevin on the other.

Amen!

The item is your first picture is a purse holder (I am fairly sure) that you put on a restaurant table or ... The stone/cane part swivels so it is flat on the table and the "hook" part hangs down for you to put your purse strap on.

From a few years ago in Las Vegas. I collect machine mades and primarily bags (and a few boxes)

Done and get well soon, John.

They are Jabos - just Pete's marketing verbiage " looks like a Rainbow sucked into a hurricane! " I don't think he intended for people to think they are Mega/Vacor

That's too bad - takes half to two-thirds of the fun out of it...

Suzie - Friday afternoon-ish should be fine. Just make sure you get to the hospitality room and find out where all the marblers rooms are so you can visit.

Take care and do what the doctor says. Heal quickly.

I did not find any Vitro bags with this style of label. Here are some pics I had saved that are not my bags - for your reference.

I have one Big Shot Mesh bag like you described - here are pics

This is the only style Worcester Salt mesh bag that I have.

I have a couple Hop Ching mesh bags with that style - here are pics. None with the black on red, however. By the way, I have all of the bags I have shown pictures of - they are packed away in the 40+ copy paper boxes of bags that I have. I can try and find them if you can't get pictures from others. It will take a while.

I'll take the Penny King label first. They had the red one with black lettering like you showed with that pattern around it. They also had the cream label with red lettering and that pattern. I believe they may had had Champion Agate Co. do the printing of the labels as Champion used a similar (if not hte same) design label in the red with black and cream with red. I show one Champion mesh bag with the label also. Here's the pictures (not high resolution but readable).

Looks like it to me.

Yes, that is great news!

Nice one - echoing Steph - Santa colors...

Thanks for sharing the pictures, Edna. Nice to see Howard up and about. And nice wedding, too.

Any chance that the 'swirl' is a double ingot?

That is a nice big one!

Interesting find - some of them are a little odd... like the Tracer looking one on the left side in 2nd pic.

Mine made also - looking forward to it!

This seller has listed a ton of bags over the last many months. It appears they have had access to or purchased original Jabo headers and are packaging their own bags. At first, it was sorting out different types of "old" Jabos by color, pattern, etc. I had emailed the seller and was told they were packaging marbles that they had bought from Jabo over the years. Now, it is including bags of Investor run marbles. The link is below for one of the bags. My question is this - is this seller doing this for Jabo - meaning that Jabo is packaging these or profiting from the sales? If not, why would Jabo be letting them use their name and headers in packaging these marbles? It gives the impression that these are bags of marbles that were packaged by Jabo. Unlike the fantasy bags where people make fake or fantasy headers, these are real Jabo headers and, Jabo is still in business - right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Bag-of-50-3-4-E-T-CRYSTAL-INVESTOR-RUN-Jabo-Marbles-/261095668708?pt=Marbles&hash=item3cca83bbe4 Thoughts?

Heal quickly and get your strength back!

Odus's find was a good one and the marbles are in great shape!
