It really concerns me because, I have been collecting multi-colored patches for some time and after seeing this auction I'm questioning a few of mine...

bumblebee Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I would much prefer this style in Jabo colors over the spaghetti chaos swirls, but on second thought the last thing we need is more Jabos in the Pre-1970 category on eBay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really concerns me because, I have been collecting multi-colored patches for some time and after seeing this auction I'm questioning a few of mine... I think it doesn't happen often. At least I haven't seen many. Well, I've seen quite a few peewee patches. But very few larger ones. Did the auction mention a size? (I looked but didn't see a size.)

Many of you have been part of creating some of the greatest machine made swirls and the colors have been nothing short of awesome... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 I got a cat that thinks its a dog.He has a funny bark. Doesnt look like akro or a patch to me,but what do I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Does it look like a Jabo? I haven't said anything, since my knowledge about Jabos is pretty limited compared to our friends who are 'serious' about them. But I just don't get any Jabo feeling at all from this one. It's a heck of a marble though! ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yeah.I put my glasses on,and if anything,the pattern looks like a vitro or a marble king. Of course,maybe the definition of a patch has changed since I last collected marbles. Meoark,--LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Your right Griff. Patch used to be a single base color with a single colored patch on it(occasionally the single patch was multicolored). The others were patch-ribbon patches or blended or banded or striped etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 The way that marble looks,Id refer to it as a rainbo or a patch ribbon type. A "patch",to me is just that.It has 1 patch of color on it.It doesnt have to be all squared up either.Peltier peerless patch is an example,of what Im saying. It does happen on occasion at jabo,by accident.The shear design is part of what normaly creates the swirl type pattern,but some times,one will roll thru with straight cut lines. Now I dont know if the shears have been altered,but this is based on my past knowledge,of them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catfish Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 More Jabo's listed in Pre-1970 machine made category? Yep, thats the crappy part. I could careless if its a Jabo or if it looks old, but the seller knowingly lists it in the pre-1970 catagory even though they know what they have.
