Vitro 7/8 inch marbles box set and Large Chinese Checker board which the marbles were used with.Β  There are two sizes of theseΒ Ming Check boards. One for normal 5/8 inch marbles and this rare large one for the 7/8 inch marbles.Β  Both boards look the exact same, except for the big difference in size.Β

Searched everywhere in 2nd hand stores for these kind of boards that are a little older then the solitaire boards you can buy now in a normal store , didnt find one yetΒ 

These are real nice to setup a collectionΒ

The Champion AgateΒ Company - Pennsboro, WV

I backlighted the marble and made a special collage from it

Looking at the green base glass & metalic on the outside you might have a "Jabo" marble Joep ??Β  Champion did make a lot of marbles with metalic in them but !! I just seen this same marble I.D. as Champion and the consensus was Jabo !!

Just a size note--The big ones are 24" and the smaller ones are 18". I had a chance at a 24-incherΒ onΒ ebay in the last few months but the shipping was a killer---just under $50 and it was not an overcharge---size does matter with the USPS.

Marble--on!!
