I'llhavethat1 Posted Friday at 05:24 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:24 PM Nice example. A little sparse on the green compared to most 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted Friday at 05:25 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:25 PM I'd be careful with this one. It looks like it might be from Sammy Hogue's AV run at JABO. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LevvyPoole Posted Friday at 06:03 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 06:03 PM Definitely a marble on my wish list and I'll heed the warning @Ric if I ever think I've spotted one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any to share? I would love to see some for sure. @Nantucketdink? Marble--On!! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted Friday at 08:51 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 08:51 PM @akroorka I have had groups in hand on a couple of occasions but I don't own any. The only reliable photo I could easily find is from JABO Land: There is quite a bit of variation in them. When the AV is thick, it's pretty easy to tell it's not an Alley - it's harder when the AV gets thinner. But FWIW, I have not seen Alleys with as sparse of coverage or the degree of "chunkiness" that you see on some of Sammy's. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great stuff Ric, Because of this post we will all be watching out. I just love this stuff--folks sharing the wisdom and experience. I think that the OP is a "Shimmering Spruce" however😁. One of the very few that intended on having AV in the green. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davesnothere Posted Friday at 10:07 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:07 PM @Ric great I have a beat up 1" SS always thought alley was the only one for this style. I'll post it up tomorrow . Always learning thanks! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted Friday at 10:23 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 10:23 PM There is little doubt that some of the white-based JABO examples, the sparser ones in particular, are mistaken for Alleys. Of course, this leads to a host of problems. I have heard varying stories about the number of the JABOs that were made. They might be less common than Spruces. Regardless, I am glad I had my Spruces before they were made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Breath easy, Dave. If it's an inch, it's probably an Alley. AFAIK the JABOs were only made in 5/8" 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblemanvintagemarbles Posted 6 hours ago Author Report Share Posted 6 hours ago If it holds any weight the collection this marble came with didnt have any jabos in it. It did have a lot of old alleys and other swirl companies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
