I have not seen another like it. Ron straightened me out with this one. Marble--On!! Yeah, for the size, if vintage I would look toward Alley. But without Ron to tag in for a swirl opinion, who?@Ric@cheese Don't want to leave anyone out. Mike, you seem a jack of all trades too. Do you want to be on my swirl tag team? @I'llhavethat1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 If there are other makers who made 3/4” swirls with the colors of opaque blue, transparent orange, opaque white, and black/dark gray like this it would be worth sharing pics of them all.

Ric Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 I'm sticking with Ron, and JABO - or maybe an old style Serpent? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted April 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 OK ! I don’t know what a Serpent looks like but I appreciate all the feedback. Go Go Jabo. I’ll roll with that 🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 I looked at this one two or three times before now and JABO really is the only thing that settles well with me. Could it be something else? I guess so, but I don't know what. I do know that somehow JABOs end up in old collections from people's grandparents, collections from the 40s, etc... and there are a million ways it can happen. If it's not JABO, at 3/4", Alley would be the next most likely maker by far, and I just don't see Alley in it. Alley is my focus, so although I may not be right all the time, I do feel like I have a pretty good familiarity with them. Process of elimination... 3/4" is too big for Heaton, Jackson, Davis, Champion (except for the New Old Fashioneds which this is not), and very unlikely Ravenswood. Some Cairos were that big but not this pattern and glass. It's not Pelt IMO, so I'm sticking with JABO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 OK Fire, The Chickens picked this one up and dropped it on you--just to confuse you. Chickens are pretty smart birds--they had their fun—now eat them🐣. It is a very cool marble and I would still sort it as an “Unknown”. This has been a fun one. In hand is always “The way”. Send it to someone for a final evaluation (not me-lol). Everyone here appreciates a gift. Great thread! Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted April 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 Are there any ideas what time line this could be from ? I guess I need to know when Jabo started making marbles🔥 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. Sorry for the awkward tag. Still wondering when 3/4" classics started being made. That's something I always fudge and say a generic "1990's".

Nantucketdink Posted April 21, 2023 Report Share Posted April 21, 2023 I believe 1996 on the first 3/4” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted April 22, 2023 Report Share Posted April 22, 2023 There are a couple in the middle column that show how swirly this type can get. These are just different variants of this color combo in this 2003 3/4” run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
