    You are showing us a Ā¾ā€ marble—Little??
    It is a MCR imho, it may be a MCS but the lines look right to me.Ā 
    The 3 colors and a nice blueish green base glass does it for me..
    All opinions are welcomed and appreciated.
    Nice one—
    Marble—On!!

    It all depends on the monitor that you are using and the colors that it is showing with this one.

    I see all of the colors that wormie is describing along with a bit-o-white.

    I would not call this one a Jabo--WVS imho--no maker from me.

    I appreciate all opinions and welcome some more.

    Marble--On!!

    Yes the clear teal runs through or with the white that kind of corks with the very light brown or tan.thank you for your input as alwaysšŸ’„

  4. It has a light brown then a very light pink with what I would call a clear teal running through it.its hard to get good pictures to show off the color difference because they are so similar.im.leaning jabo on this for now untill I can get some good sunlight and better pictures.thank you all for your input thoughā˜ŗļøĀ I always appreciate it.

  5. I can't for the life of me remember where this mib came from the white is translucent,and the dark brown is not.hit it with the uv and it lights up with orange swirls in the white and brown.aprox 1 inch

    Junk like that can be an excellent sorce to aide in understanding how made. your center orange marble is hand gathered and you can see that inside, maybe 5 and more times the punty rod was twirled, like cotton cany is, until there was enough gathered to make it big enough.Ā 

    Nice! Thanks for the info.they are still nice to look at imo.indont discriminate all misfits need a good home!😁

    The one that got away. Check out this sellers ended auctions:Ā ~*~ATTIC FIND~*~. Old Toy Marble Antique or Vintage #33. **BROKEN** | eBay

    Reviewed seller's recent sales and this one is crazy. It's plenty used, they only have old marbles 'Attic find', I am not so hot identifying in the Jabo/Dave's, etc. marbles category yet, who else could?Ā 

    It's beat, sling shot ammo and description "Broken" is no joke it's a half piece. This one, if not new then, like the comic, even more rare, never heard of, just a dream or nightmare?

    Ā 

    Yikes,that's crazy I got had from a jar find a month ago,jar wasn't big but it had a couple eye catchers in it so I got it for like $8 dumped them out and all the ones I liked had a chunk like this missing from it.they put the good sides to view.broke my heart šŸ˜ž

    Yes they were making Carnival glass when I was there.Ā  The Burmese was used for many different pieces, different size flower vases, baskets, table lamps, animal figures, plates, and more. Fenton made all of their own glass from raw batch.Ā  A few times Jabo ordered a special white glass be made by Fenton and then was sold to Jabo for marbles. MK did it once but Jabo did special ordered glass from Fenton several times. MK made the marbles from Fenton glass and the Fenton Glass name was on the bag header. So many buyers thought Fenton Glass made marbles. Fenton Glass never ever made any marbles.Ā Ā 

    Fantastic information thank you for the history

    It's an oddball and at that size, I'm not really sure what to think - this may be a hard one to get a firm ID on. Although, it looks to me more like a machine made marble that got spun than a hand-gathered MFC, but I cant offer much more than that.

    Thank you very much for the info.
