m!b$ Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 He used to have some interesting comments, although at the time I didn't fully realize it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 This would be Dr. Jeff Hale, I presume. There are a couple Jeff Hales who are marble enthusiasts. No aspersions aside but I suspect he has a life! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 He has a Yahoo group called the Marble Collector's Club. I don't know if it is active. I've seen a few interesting things in his photo albums but have never tried to post there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydetul62 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 The yahoo group is active and he checks on it from time to time. He doesnt do much with marbles anymore. His time is taken up by stock market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leroy65 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Jeff is doing very well as I visited with him for quite awhile yesterday. I have very high esteem for Jeff as he is one of the most informed when it comes to marble information in my opinion and I have used his knowledge of Marbles many times. A long time ago I was getting beat up pretty badly from a person way out west and Jeff was one of the people that came to my rescue. It all ended fairly well. It had to do with Akro marbles from the digs and my listing of the same on eBay after they were reconditioned. My son (Graphic Designer) had listed the marbles with beautiful pictures and I had posted on Alan B's. board that if they would like to see some Akro marbles from the digs and what they looked like after being reconditioned they could go to the listing. Those marbles were very rare and some of them (styles) had never been merchandised. I believe they were actually experimental runs and than dumped. A person way out west for some reason took offense at that and really came down hard on me. At any rate Jeff is doing very well. ----Leroy---- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvdv Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 To bad, Jeff doesn't post here anymore, he has a hughe knowledge about marbles, also about the European machine mades. He always was clear, but fair in his comments. Good to hear he's doing alright now. Cees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I see him,every now and again,up at the Brimfield,antique show.Always good to talk to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clydetul62 Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 You are talking about 2 different Jeff Hales. I can guarantee that the Jeff that Griff sees isnt the same Jeff that has the Yahoo group. The Jeff for the Yahoo group and the one referred to lives in Joplin MO and very rarely travels.

m!b$ Posted February 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I mean the Jeff Hale that used diagrams alot on this board (or so they say), and got banned once or twice, I think. He was pretty gutsy in some of the things he said. I think he lives down south somewhere, maybe Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migbar Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 The diagramming Jeff lived in Joplin, last I heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david Chamberlain Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 My memory could be failing me but I met the Jeff Hale that I alluded to in a previous Post in NH at an antique outdoor show in the 1990s. Serious slag collector. I will admit to memory failings. Keeping everyone straight gets to be tough. Just try responding to someone you don't know who comes up to you at a flea market on a Saturday in the upper mid-West and starts off by saying, "Are you David Chamberlain?" Yikes! You first double-clutch and wonder just who you are before attempting to make a connection with the person coming at you. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Hee's pics of a 'Jeff Hale' from 2001 - 2003 time frame. I don't know which Jeff Hale this is but he is a marble collector. Maybe someone can determine which Jeff it is. I rememebr the Jeff Hale from the boards had areal tough time with spelling. I think he said he had learned everything phonetically. I thought he was great and very knowledgable. He is the one that set up the Yahoo Club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted February 26, 2010 Report Share Posted February 26, 2010 Yes that is diagramming Jeff from Joplin. His problem(and usual cause for banning on several boards) was talking down to folks and insinuating they were idiots when they disagreed with him. He did have some very useful information for sure.
