Berryb Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Not a slag. It needs to be a transparent base with white swirled in. That's a nice one, but a swirl. Thanks Bruce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 The swirl ... the diaper fold crack made me think of Jabo in the first place Nice marble 👌 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Size? If less that 7/8" (I'm thinking it is) and the wear on the glass I'd guess CAC or Alley. I don't see anything close to Akro. Please note the size for ID purposes as it can help narrow things down in a jiffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

William Posted December 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 I never would have thought Jabo as it was mixed in with older Slags and Swirls...interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 I would like to see some more images of this one. I would not call it an Akro but I think that your hard-lighting may have leared some folks toward Jabo. Try some natural light images. There is a dimple in your third image and a flea bite on the second one that stears me away from Jabo. I am getting a more vintage feel from this one. Marble--On!!

Dave 13 Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 I’m thinking jabo too being a smaller mib does not make it not be a Jabo Art whats a dimple and flea bite got to do with it not being a Jabo that’s just confusing 🤯 ✌️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 This is just my feel/experience Dave. Jabo, are "softer glass" imho" More likely to bruise than get a small chip/fleabite. When I see flea bites or dimples I am always looking at a more vintage or a harder "cooked" marble. Vintage makers were making marbles to compete with actual stone agates. The more durable the better, given the times. The colors prove what they wanted to achieve, along with the assigned names from the history of earlier machine made marbles. At 5/8" this would have to be a "stellar" Jabo. If it was closer to 1”, I might call it a Jabo myself. I just call them like I see them. Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave 13 Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 cool thanks for the explanation /info Art 😎 i’ve only noticed a different kind of hit marks on old slags that leave the outside good but you can see the round crack underneath and mibs that were in mesh bag end up more damaged then ones that are in plastic bags some of the older Jabos might surprise some my avatar is a 5/8 Jabo ✌️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 I should have added the anealing or cooling process as well Dave. The slower that glass cools, the better the end product. Check out these two videos, one from Jabo and one from a Chinese operation. The Jabo marbles are dumped together rather quickly and are of course more prone to "bruising".

William Posted December 7, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 Natural lighting hasn't been great so these will have to do, a little closer with additional views.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 Thanks William, It is a swirl, not an Akro. I still think that it is an older marble--not Jabo. You may have to sit on this one awhile. I will give it a bump though. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
