akroorka Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 I have wanted some of these "Badger Run" Jabo’s for years—just too expensive for me—I am a Badger after all, so I had to give a good try or few. I got lucky and pulled home a nice box full, one of the best wooden boxes ever made imho. If anyone can help with the reasons behind the name, I will appreciate it. Thanks and Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvrons Posted December 18, 2022 Report Share Posted December 18, 2022 Katie was a badger and the person who had this run done. Jeff Theobald had these boxes made. He had them made for many Jabo runs plus Alley, Champion, Ravenswood, Akro, Peltier, Vitro, and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Steph, I might just keep these awhile--I might be hooked. I am now on a hunt for "Blueboys"---love em! I read a post somewhere in the past about "Contract Run Patches" all I can remember is that @wvrons was fooled by them, comparing them to Vitros, and you stuck up for him. It was an older post as I remember--I lost it💨, I think it may have been here, in The Marble Connection. Something to do with Jeff Theobold and a run after Dave McCullough left. Nice patches imho--I want some. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one that is out of round--bigger--13/16". I am not a big fan of out of round marbles. I have some research to do---Thanks Ric--Killer marbles for sure. Marble--On!!

wvrons Posted December 20, 2022 Report Share Posted December 20, 2022 I remember those and that lutz. Like them or not, there were some killer marbles made at Jabo from 2008 until it closed. Many people gained a lot of marble knowledge while all that happened. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
