Fire1981 Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Tricky. I think it’s a Jabo 🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 I didn't think of modern until I read Rick's post. Still could be vintage. Not a rainbo though. Maybe one of the lesser known WV swirl companies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Tricky for sure and it could be vintage or--- The vaseline colored glass and the one cutline that I can see reminds me of some Akro that I have seen. That being said--it may be easier to determine if both cutlines are shown. Natural sunlight please. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieT Posted May 19 Report Share Posted May 19 Looks kinda like oxblood in a couple of those last pics. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice images mccracken, The fact that @Alan has a few like this makes me wonder. I am inspecting the damage on the marble, this usually will determine old vs newer. Newer glass in my experience is softer and more prone to little white hit marks. Jabo is a good example of these little whit hit marks. @Nantucketdink has a very good handle on Jabo marbles, he could clear this up for sure. There appear to be striated scratches not common to game play but more often found in a marble from a dig-site. @Steph may be right on the older WVS idea and @cheese and @Ric both have been on the digs and may offer an opinion. I see why mccracken though that it may be a Pelt—lots of bubbles. Experimetal marbles were not always cooked like production types and this may explain the “bubblicious” nature of this one. I am leaning towards a vintage dug marble, it may be from any number of dig sites imho. If @Fire1981 did not recognize it, then I doubt that it is a Pelt. We cannot ID them all—but we sure as heck can try. Thanks all!! Marble—On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 The pics wilt all the bubbles in the matrix definitely cancels out Jabo. The UV base glass now has me on the Akro Train. This is one is pretty special🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted May 20 Report Share Posted May 20 I think it's a Top Shelf marble.🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted May 21 Report Share Posted May 21 I would probably put this with Cairo. The bubbles in the base, the dark red ribbon in a simple folded ingot swirl pattern like Cairo is known for... but might change my mind looking at it in hand. Sorry this pic is a little dark: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
