Definately a CAC swirl IMO

Funny thing is many of us have already met! I have some huge political religious and scientific arguments with family and friends. we end them with no hard feelings. We learn a lot. It is nice when it can work that way. We still love and like each other!!

Nice mib! Not a real hard to find color combo for CAC IMO. They made some red-brown that looks a lot like oxblood glass. It was MFC that made the handgathered blue opaque Persian Turquoise marbles.

It is a beautiful Orb Orbboy. and if I had to guess I would go CAC!!

Actually the CAC slags never really did it for me. I trade or sell most of them I get. I haven't seen a red 2 seamer over 7/8" And not positive the big one I saw wasn't German. And if they are red and handgathered I wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't Akro or Peltier. Here is a big ol orange that Dani now has.

Awsometacular!!!!!!!!!!!

It looks from Berts site that if he signs he signs with initials and numbers(date??) or his name.

Remelt IMO and he has had a couple of them lately IMO. Not saying he knows but there are some givaways. On some of the pics you can see all the small surface bubble pops that one can sometimes find on remelts. This is just my opinion.

it was one of his first of this type. It reminded me of some Japanese type artworks.

Check these outSimpson MibsThe inhabited planets seem to have a planet surrounded in clear.

It almost looks like someones attempt to mimic his work. Or a simple practice piece Josh did?? Hard to tell what the first one is.

The 3 I have do not have any glow in UV light

I have many patents and drawings etc of multiple stream set ups. I have seen single stream setups in person. I do have an open mind. Jabos are single stream marbles. And the books also have some accurate information. The patch and ribbon of older MKs are multiple streams. I imagine the new ones are also. This is a general not a scientific description Single stream marbles= all the glass is mixed(in one way or another) in one furnace and leaves that furnace as a single stream which is sheared to make a marble. Multiple stream marble= Glass from separate furnaces(sources)leave these furnaces and by a multitude of methods outside of the furnaces are brought together to make the stream of glass that is then sheared to make individual marbles. I know I said I was done but I hope this helps some that may be wondering the difference. Peace,Galen

Actually many have been made recently that are not 3/4. most they call tank wash. But yes the main runs have been 3/4" thank goodness.

2 seams

Did I hear Salazar

Did you teach me something??? What did I finally get?? you keep insinuating Jabos are multiple stream marbles, they aren't!! Many Masters, most Peltiers Most Marble Kings(esp veneered and patch ribbon patch types)Akro corks and sparklers. Cateyes etc. are all multiple stream marbles. Swirls such as Champion, Alley and Jabo and most that we call WV swirls are all single stream marbles. Always have been always will be. Thats it about that. If you want to think Jabos are multiple stream marbles go right ahead. I am done on that subject.

The threadjacking is getting rampant

As for flames CAC Alley and jabo use(d) single stream machines for flames as are the German wirepulls that flame. All single stream marbles. (ONE STREAM COMING OUT OF ONE FURNACE) Constantly saying that isn't so does not make it a fact. Separate streams need to come together outside different sources to make a multiple stream marble. If what you are saying(glass from different crucibles melted and meeting inside the same furnace are also multiple stream marbles then the only single stream marbles are What???? single colors. Crucibles in one furnace do not make for multiple stream marbles, plain and simple. Cateyes are a great example of multiple stream marbles

Actually Felecia they can add different colors(or types) of glass that do not appear in Vintage swirl marbles. As for the patterns there are adjustments that can be made that do things like increase the likelehood of flames, how many colors show up and even the degree of swirling. Early on I suggested that by keeping certain settings and adding similar colors it might be possible to make similar marbles. In Canton Dave M. brought me 2 marbles from different runs that looked identical(not saying the swirl pattern was exactly the same)) other than a fine line of lutz in one of them. David said that was the only way he could possibly tell they were from different runs. Obviously the same colors got used and the machine was set the same. In the same note they can make them look different. Which is the main objective of each run I believe. The same look will not sell as well.

I guess I didn't follow my own rule(Keep the posts to marbles and about marbles) close enough. I am very sorry if anyone has taken my statements to suggest that there are not Jabo collectors with nice vintage collections. I personally know one. I did just get an email from a major Akro collecter that thought they may have some Akros that would match fairly well to some Of the Jabos I posted. Many folks will have different opinions. Isn't that OK? Why can this not be accepted by all? I just wish these discussions could be done from both sides in a civil manner. I do post short and to the point posts and do not always think about how some folks may take offense to them. It is not my objective to insult anyone. And I am sorry if I have insulted anyone. My objective is just to show another side to certain things going on in the marble world. I am not trying to insult anyone or what they collect. The boards get a bit slow when the only things posted are Look at my pretty marble posts. And no one really learns much from them. I like a good back and forth discussion as it gets a lot of folks posting and occasionally some real good info gets posted. As for the Jabos I know I am not going to get the new runs stopped. But if I can even get a small spark lit in a few folks minds maybe fewer vintage looking marbles will be coming off the rollers. And if I didn't do or say what I really feel in my heart why bother at all. And I am really glad everyone doesn't think the same. It would be way too boring if we did. Peace,Galen

Yes they are IMO.

I guess I don't know what dimples your talking about. The red base one I have has a small cold roll but those others are nice and smooth. In hand they are similar but certainly not exactly the same by any means. I have none of the type that Dani had purchased. Although the patch ones are pretty darn close.

Imperial(LOL)

No insult taken! It didn't mean just CAC but right now CACs are the 3/4 inch types they sometimes look like the most often. The smaller sizes it is usually the premium Oxbloods they will most often resemble. lets just hope it doesn't get worse.
