Ric Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 They all look the same to me. And I sure thought the dark color on the mibs in the OP was purple and not red covered by blue or something. Can you show me a pic of all 5 together but grouped by base glass? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gladys Posted March 14, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 1st pic is the 2Â red base/ and 2nd pic is 3 almost opaque but clear glass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I really don't see anything that would make me think they are made by different companies and I think the likelihood that they are is very small so I am not sure what to think now. Transparent red base glass is very uncommon for Vitro and it's quite common for JABO so . . .? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 At this point, it seems the likelihood they are JABO is higher than the likelihood that they are Vitro but I am still interested to know what Josh @Nantucketdink thinks about them.

If those are made from Alley cullet I will be astounded - the likelihood seems near zero to me.

wvrons Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Jeff would know. As with my earlier post. I thought they might have been made be after 2012 at Jabo. They made several runs of 5/8 inch with nice cut lines. The Alley cullet is probably the blue and from Rick See. The dark lines are the red base glass. If the opaque white is thick and covers the base they will look more opaque. No way is there any Peltier close to these. I do not have much doubts these are from the Jabo 3-15-2015 named Jalley run. I took Alley cullet to Jabo and made marbles with it more than once. Bill M. and myself had Dave M. add a gallon of Alley pure white chalk dug at Pennsboro to a furnace at Jabo. It never showed up on any marble, probably melted, mixed inside the marbles or burned up. Hoped for Jabo/Alley chalkie marbles. But it would have taken much more chalk if any chance or working.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I agree those are not a match. If those are examples of all they made during the Jalley run ? But they are the same exact construction, cut lines and patterns. Maybe the red base ran out and switched to this white base, with some of the red left. Maybe that is why some of yours are more red base and some more white base ? Just my thoughts or possibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dark lines are the red base glass. So Alley cullet was used for striping on transparent red baseglass? I could see that! Looking at Galdys' pics compared to the Jalley pic I posted, I'd say hers would be the cream of the crop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 Much more likely the striping glass may have been old Alley cullet, The base glass would most times take lots and lots of cullet. At least 500 or 1000lbs. The striping glass might only need 5 or 10 lbs. to do several thousand marbles. But if they had 100lb. of transparent red, red transparent could be run as base for a short time. But the switch or transformation from transparent red to white may look pink for a short while ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 There is transparent red in the group picture from Bocci. Clear or crystal was available 100% of the time at Jabo. Many times it was ten tons of clear whiskey bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Columbusrockhound Posted March 14, 2022 Report Share Posted March 14, 2022 I was wrong. Not Jalley. I was going from memory and saw some similarities. I found none with red inside and no pink, but rather some lavender and other similar traits, but these are different. They look familiar, but I cannot find any. Dink and Dare Hawkins may know.
