This one is a "Champion  Furnace" or more commonly known today as a "Tank Wash Marble". 
One of the og as far as tank wash marbles go.
There are many Jabo out there advertised as "Tank Washed" which is the true term--but these Champions were well before their time.
Love em:wub: !

This color combo is more common--yet still rare.
Nice marble!!!
Marble--On!!

The term tankwash was when the tank had one type of glass in it (say for industrial marbles), and you are about to run and investor run of a different type of glass with a different coefficient. So you flush (wash) the old out and run compatible glass so that when you start adding the base and striking colors, you aren't contaminating the marbles with the incompatible industrial glass. Mostly it was a term invented by workers at JABO and I'll just say it was an abused term. That's how it was explained to me by more than one involved at JABO anyway.

I agree it's Champion.
