Here is another one that I ran across. When I first got this one I thought it was an Akro. Measures 15/16" Thanks for looking.

Not having it 'in-hand'............that's a 'toughie'. But I don't believe Akro.........but very possibly Jabo.

Here's one about the same size that Dustin sent me to help with pics and ID. At the time that I posted it, I wouldn't have thought Jabo..... but that's what everyone said. Later on, I ran across a group of Jabos that were very similar in various colors.

I'd have to go with Alley on this one.

The glass looks "OLDER" to me.

The little " Flicker" in the 1st pic and..........
and the small thin "Flame Tips" in the 3rd pic....
seem to be more defined in the Swirl Pattern that
are "usually" seen or found on some of the Alleys.(IMHO)

RAR............ Cool

I think they are Jabo.

Mine doesn't feel like a jabo, I agree with Rick the glass seems older. Not as slick as the jabos I have.
Thanks for the input, though!

Definitely Jabo...here's one of mine. Jabo shooters are more often than not 15/16", a good clue to their ID.

Thanks everyone, I thought I had all of my jabos weeded out and together! I guess I will have to look again. Are these both Jabos as well?

I'd say Jabo on both of the last two..........especially if they are 15/16".

Check out some of the Jabos in the link below............they don't look like the typical 'slick surface with white spots' types that many of us are familiar with.
