Thats just great.No luck here on yards sales yet.

I have seen certain boxes that have CA marbles in them and then the same box same graphics for a different company. http://cgi.ebay.com/25-AKRO-AGATE-VINTAGE-CORKSCREW-MARBLES-FANTASY-BOX-/190397249764?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Marbles&hash=item2c548f78e4 http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=MARBLES+IN+FANTASY+BOX+

Marble fantasy boxes and bags - What was the reason behind this and did different compaines ever use the same box with the same graphics that didnt support there logos or names..Say CA and Akro for example.

I cannot really tell from my computer the pics are dark.

I know that these were distributed sometimes through other companies but i never have seen any packaging with the Navarre name,or what kind of packaging,Boxes,bags? Still learning here.Anyone have any pics of such,And can i use them.Bruce

You cannot have to many friends to learn from.Or show you a new way of looking at things.My problem is that i need to look.LOL

Like them.......Id like to find some sellers,i need to get to some shows.

Lol we need to keep them in Kentucky!

Very nice group,Seems like most think there not much to look at but i have always liked them.I guess the age thing is there too.Can i use your pic as a referance?

Navarre Glass Marble and Specialty Company 1897-1901 Looking for more information on this company,Photos, marbles,books,anything. Im interested in this company but cannot seem to find many collectors or info.

Thanks and all are welcomed.After all we cannot have a show if we dont have people.

Im thinking mabie this will keep anyway and it will be the one to use as an example at the shows.To show people that fakes are out there

On the site im thinking i will have a page of all known fakers to help the new collectors and also have others help me add to the list. What do you think

here is the link that is not facebook but all new please pass it around http://bluegrassmarblecollectors.blogspot.com/

Ive read the post here and i will say this to everyone.I dont have any connection with this guy other than i won the bid on the marble.I used the pic he had because i won the bid and have been messing around for a banner for the site.I do live in Louisville,Ky and started the marble club to learn myself and have other involved around the area that also want to learn and enjoy the hobby. I myself cannot get enough of it being back in it again.I hope all will join that want to.I guess im out the 71.00 now. Have a laugh on me guys.See ya Bruce

Well guys i guess im the stupid one this time.I won the bid on the marble in question.I never trusted pics to much and still learning the ropes on somethings.Its a long road to travel,Im not to familure with some of ebays fakers yet.I guess im gonna see the thing close up now.If the marble is a fake it will be the first time ive been had.Some people you just cannot trust.I mess around with arrowheads and such and been doing that for 35 years and they also have them fakers out there.Think i need to show up here more often.And get some friends going here. http://bluegrassmarblecollectors.blogspot.com/
