Greeneyesgreenthumbs Posted November 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 When did Jabo start making marbles? If it was before 1965 then Jabo is a possibility. If they started post 65 then no its not Jabo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 Akros were machine-made marbles. This marble is also machine-made and I can't swear that it isn't Akro, but I don't really have a guess for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 The very earliest Akro marbles were hand gathered slags. This is not early or hand gathered or a slag. I also have high doubt of Akro. To me it also looks like Jabo classic. What size is it ? Hand made marbles are made totally by hand. This marble was made on a machine for sure. It is a swirl marble which Akro made very very few of. I have never seen or heard of any Akro swirl with this color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted November 11, 2020 Report Share Posted November 11, 2020 Greeneyes, Jabo started making this style of marbles in the 1990's. It's a common thing for even an older collection to get newer marbles mixed in. Someone finds a stray marble and remembers where the old marble jar is, and that seems a logical place to put the marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
