Imagining how it could be used as a display.

Love it! Want it!

The right looks corky. Might be an Akro. Do you think the left is vintage? My first impression about it was that it would be modern Vacor. But with the yellows in both marbles looking so much alike I'm not wanting to jump to conclusions.

Fun! And yes, that's a nice spot for it.

I think so.

Alleylicious!

Sweet! Very nice that you made it playable. Now you have me wondering what the story is about the bank, but afraid to ask in case you mentioned it in another thread. (I'm behind on my reading.)

Collector name for this one: "Lemonade"

sweet

Modern Marble King on the black and green. Some Jabos also. (agreed on newer)

Are you really their coach? For reals?

Overall a lot of commons. The solid color ones are called game marbles. The transparent ones are called clearies. And you have a lot of cat's eyes. This picture has the most moderately interesting ones, but nothing is standing out to me. If you broke it up into lots which conveniently fit into a small priority mailers you might be able to get up to $100 for even the commons on ebay. Maybe others will see some worth pulling out and giving special treatment. Oh, speaking of special treatment, if you do plan to sell, then be very careful not to knock them around too much. Condition is very important to marble value. And sorry for your loss. This is a solid assortment of vintage marbles. Just on the common side.

Original bags are nice. I'm guessing less than $20 in value for the bag though. The light green one at the top right here interests me. Larger marbles are often worth more. The blue, yellow and white one here is a nice Marble King. Not rare, I think, but at that size it's nice.

pretty sure yes

I think that most Alox shoelaces were made in America. Some were made in Japan though. If you can find the Japanese ones, look for marbles on the label.

which one is you?

Maybe not well known? I saw a mention of little Ronnie Howard on Twilight Zone and hoped youtube would have it. Sure enough. And he has marbles. I'm wondering how I could have gone this long without knowing about this particular marble clip. Ronnie Howard 1959 - YouTube

ouch!

Looks about the same ... avocados are slow growing. I take heart in knowing that the days are definitely getting longer even if I can't tell it yet.

Yes! Pretty sure sweet CACs.

Polo!

The white doesn't look as solid as I expect in slags but the ribbon is not well defined enough to make me think they're later swirls. So, assuming they're both vintage, I'll say Akro slag on both.

I was thinking of that song, All the Marbles, recently. Wanted to repost it. Instead I'll bump the thread with this helpful ad which I need to look up a couple of times a year.

Unusual example. I'd call it a keeper. Might be hard to find another like it.
