Gina Macias Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 5/8” and the price is $14. I am not sure. I want to see if my speculative guess is right. Thank you all so much. I appreciate all of your help and do not mean to be such a pain with the id’ing! Please know it is much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 I'm a pretty big "no" on this nondescript marble. It could possibly be vintage -- such as a messed up Akro. But I suspect it's modern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 It has a "buttcrack" which is often associated with Jabos (made after 1990). There are dug Akros and Pelts and Alleys and more with "buttcracks" but without more strongly identifiable features, Jabo is a good bet for marbles with buttcracks.

Steph Posted June 5, 2021 Report Share Posted June 5, 2021 "Dug" means found by modern people digging at an old factory-related dumpsite. Some messed up marbles which probably didn't pass quality control have some from dig sites. Some nice marbles have also come from dig sites. They could have been dumped for different reasons.

William Posted June 6, 2021 Report Share Posted June 6, 2021 If you want to check out some cool videos, including the Heaton marble dig, check out Stephen Bahr's marble videos on YouTube. He's got some nice, informative videos about different types of marbles that you will enjoy and learn from 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nantucketdink Posted June 8, 2021 Report Share Posted June 8, 2021 It looks like a JABO to me too. Single JABOs have sold for $400. Just sharing that money bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
