Mikie_T Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 I had to get myself some more marbles so I found these that are supposed to be "vintage". I got 3 batches and there are some in each batch that I really like. Do these look like mostly west Virginia swirls? Do you see any modern marbles in these batches?

Mikie_T Posted October 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 A close-up of 3 for consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 19, 2017 Report Share Posted October 19, 2017 I think _most_ vintage. Your first close-up might be Jabo. In the first picture, the orange and white smack dab in the middle might be Jabo. In the last group photo, the blue and yellow one on the top ... that yellow has a Vacor-like consistency to it. And the yellow and white one on the left of that photo might be Jabo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 Out of the 3 batches pictured, I'd say the majority of non-vintage marbles are in the third batch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it look modern? I know Jabo made a bunch of swirl marbles and many are hard for me to distinguish from the vintage marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 That ones tricky. 5/8" Jabos from before 2008 aren't usually very busy, and that does look pre-2008. Though the glass looks like it might be newer than the 1930's-40's swirls, I'm not jumping all the way to Jabo at this time. I'll wait for someone else's opinion.

Nantucketdink Posted October 20, 2017 Report Share Posted October 20, 2017 That marble doesn't look like a JABO in the one view, but there are 6 or 7 JABOs in your last group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nantucketdink Posted October 21, 2017 Report Share Posted October 21, 2017 most of them. I actually think I see 8 JABOs in the last photo. The yellow one is the best of the JABOs in that photo in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
