Pink but what?

Right one - Jabo.  Left probably but ...?

Pink is a odd marble base color. Except for Jabo.  Probably 90% of 1000 pink base machine made marbles will be Jabos.  Percentage probably higher than 90.   The pink glass or cullet Jabo used in making the pink marbles for several years, was from nearby Fenton Art Glass Co.   Fenton Art Glass made their own glass and made many different pink pieces.

Thank you! That is an awesome explanation. I knew that the first collectible run in '99 used Fenton but I didn't know it was used at other times.

Jabo used Fenton cullet to make marbles from the first year up until this year.  They used the Fenton Art Glass pink in Jabo Classic marbles for many years. Most if not all the vintage WV marble companies used Fenton cullet in making marbles. Vitrolite and Fenton glass were two of the most major sources of cullet for marbles. Fenton was in business 100 years.  The Gabert cullet Co. of WIlliamstown WV were the people who sold and delivered most cullet to the WV marble companies. The Gabert family still owns and operates the same cullet Co. from Williamstown WV. 

Pink base marbles, stay alert for Jabo.
