supramisfit Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 I really like the colors of this one. It measures 5/8". The butt crack fold gives me a Jabo vibe but I'm not positive 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 24 Report Share Posted May 24 I believe that is a nice Vitro Aquamarine - I've seen plenty with a similar "butt crack". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank for your input Ric. I guess I've trained my mind to think Jabo first anytime I see that type of fold. Now I need to go through all my Jabos haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jabo purchased a number of companies including Vitro and the machines that were used by them. The similarity may have some impact on the final product, bear this in mind and check them all. Jabo is usually considered as a softer glass showing little white hit marks vs the other types of damage more noticeable in older marbles as chips or moons. Some moons on the older marbles will show a center that is intact and the surrounding glass explodes outwards forming an intact middle and an explosion of glass that busted out due to the impact. Glass is in fact able to be considered as a solid and a liquid. It can take an impact and actually rebound as if a liquid—to a point. I am old enough to remember the glass panes in a window being thicker at the bottom than at the top—gravity for sure. If you were to live for the next hundred years or so and you never moved your collection, some of them would be out of round—gravity. Marble—On!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nantucketdink Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 I know Jack had the Bogard/Heaton leftover equipment but I am not aware of JABO buying any other companies and want to include the info in some JABO info I share with others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted May 31 Report Share Posted May 31 I think that @Steph has some info covered in the "Study Hall" Nantucketdink. I am sure that she is willing to help you with your interest in this. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 1 Report Share Posted June 1 JABO started with the purchase of Bogard. Then they bought Vitro. Those are the two I know about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
