Toddles Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I'm really not much of a collector, but was gifted this by an older gentleman and was told it was only 1 of 2 that were made and had value. He wrote Purple Parrot on a slip of paper that came with it. Any ideas? I live in north central WV, but have no idea of its origin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I can’t wait to hear what you have there. It won’t be long. Off the charts in my book🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 To me, it appears to be a 3/4" marble from one of the JABO investor runs - not sure which run though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toddles Posted April 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I never thought to include the measurement, but it measures close to 7/8" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 It is a newer Jabo marble made in Reno Ohio, just above Marietta OH. Made from 2010 to 2013. Parrots are a old Vitro Agate marble with four colors on a white base. Your marble has nothing to do with the original marble named Parrot. When making machine made marbles you do not make one or two, They are made at over two hundred per minute. I see the usual roll mark on it. Value would be $1.00 to at most $5.00. I live near Ravenswood. You must be near Morgantown. Vitro Parrot marbles below. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
