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!

WOW!

This was from one of the Vegas Shows back a few years...

Good to hear - keep 'em rolling...

One of the co-authors is a member of this board. I think he has ones to sell. Search for his handle under the members tab above (under "P") for psia-antiques and message him.

Here's a picture of one that Pete showed back in 2008 and another pictures someone else posted. I know some of the bands are on real marbles to begin with and others in "shells".

Now, I have to go look for that box of them that I have...

You dun good, Rich! You've got a good eye for those. Some of those with more than 3 colors are the scarce ones. I always remember this one of marblealan's - sold for $47 back in 2008

First glance, the colors made me think Vacor - almost like Hurricane style, but pattern in other pics is more busy than Vacor so...?

Closest thing Vacor/Mega that I can find is the Dragon - here is one pic. Some of the older Vacor styles had really sharp, bright colors. I threw in three pictures of an older Twister, for example.

Doesn't look like Imperial to me but doesn't ring a bell with any uS ones. Foreign but where?

Chuck doesn't post much (first one...?) on the boards but he makes a great point with this post. Main thing that I see for people attending a show - find some way to help the promoters of the show - money, time, advertising (put the word out in your area) or even marbles that they can sell at a silent auction to raise funds (especially when it is a club putting on the show). And then, have fun!
