Al Oregon Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 With those seams, not a corkscrew in my opinion. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 10 Report Share Posted July 10 I agree it's not a Corkscrew, not even a lazy one - maybe just a folded Akro patch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheese contributed to the book by Eddie and Kim Winnigham--"West Virginia Swirls" is the title. Great book and worth the money--He is the handsome guy with the "goatee" on the cover--lol. Eddie is not so bad looking himself😁. Well ---moving on--he knows his stuff pretty well. Thanks for all that you all do! Nope--not me--just good looking humans is all that I am saying. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheese Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Looks like a JABO in construction. Either JABO or folded Akro is my take, leaning JABO. I might have contributed a tiny bit to the book... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 I definitely thought about JABO for this one too and it certainly could be - it would just be one that I don't recognize, but I surely haven't seen them all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 Not an Akro. It spun on the rollers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 I'm all in with JABO at this point. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marblemanvintagemarbles Posted July 11 Author Report Share Posted July 11 If it hold any weight at all. The collection i got this marble in didnt have any other identifiable jabos in it. Was loaded with a lot of cooler vintage marbles. Akros and christensens, I got that av alley and the orange flames with it. The akro special superman variants in it. I truly feel like its older than jabo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 The only other reasonable possibility I can come up with is that it is an unusually poorly constructed CAC striped transparent, probably dug - I could see it, I suppose. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted July 11 Report Share Posted July 11 The Butt Crack is there under the invisible underwear. There are minimal Jabo hit marks on the surface glass. Jabo for me🔥 RAR 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago it certainly looks like it could be a JABO, but for some reason I am not remembering this one which I think I would. I love transparent green with yellow. Just confirming its about 5/8...right?...and it looks like it does in the pics in hand...right? its not like a really dark green in real life? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nantucketdink Posted 12 hours ago Report Share Posted 12 hours ago unless I am just having a brain fart and thats one of the ones that happennd close to the kiwis and tropicals in that run. I need to refresh my memory on those. Theres a transparent green and yellow peewee jabo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
