JABO, Inc. Marbles
JABO, Inc. is the new kid on the block who began producing industrial marbles in 1987. In 1993 they purchased Vitro Agate's machinery and name, thereby becoming the JABO-Vitro Agate Company. Co-founder Dave McCullough, formerly of Champion Agate, produced several limited runs each year marketed as "Classics" which are unique and collectible.
Since 2008, Jabo has produced many special marble runs for collectors. These limited runs are given fun names like JOKER, Tribute and Madyia, and the marbles contain several, often exotic colors of glass. Sometimes special glass like oxblood, aventurine or lutz is used in all or part of a run. In December 2009, Dirty Jobs aired an episode with Mike Rowe helping make a run of pretty marbles at JABO called "Eagles". Jabo's special runs are instantly collectible and well worth the effort to hunt down the best examples from each run. The beauty, legacy and limited quantities of these special Jabo marble runs guarantees they will appreciate in value.
