The Nickel Guy Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 This is a very nice marble, it is not Jabo. Anyway, I would surely appreciate some ID help here and thank you very much. It is 19/32 inch. It is a new mib that rolled in yesterday. I see that "V" and think Vitro but it is not continuous, The seam just happens to end there. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted July 13 Report Share Posted July 13 My first thought is a JABO Classic. What makes you think it's not? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted July 13 Author Report Share Posted July 13 Thanks Ric. I just don't see the butt crackish thing going on here. There appears to me to be two seams. I said it's not Jabo in the first post because I just didn't think it was but hey, I certainly could be wrong and it is a very nice looking marble in hand. I have a good number of classics. If it is one, it is one of my best. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is one, it is one of my best. I was really just wondering if I was missing something that made it obviously Heaton. Heaton did use similar colors and I can see where you're coming from, but here is what I see. I see the seams you see. I see colors JABO used. I also see the "S" sort of structure, the striations in the base, which looks like it has some clear mixed in and is too weak (sort of translucent) for Heaton. I see what appears to be a tight "BC" - it seems to some out of the lower portion of the "S" in the first small pic and extend on into the middle lower pic. And then there is the white washed over the black in the lower left pic. That's why I lean JABO. And you'll never hear me bad-mouth Classics. JABO made some great marbles and this would surely be one of them. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "Tongue" of glass in image one convinced me. The colors are right on for sure. I just suck at WVS ID and I do not blame you one bit for your original ID. There are many Jabo classics that defy any ID. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nickel Guy Posted July 13 Author Report Share Posted July 13 It was the gravy color that had me thinking Heaton. All those lines in a wave show up pretty neat under the UV. Kinda cool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
