I would keep them as a novelty. I don't know about their value, but they're cool to have as a representative of marbles used for industrial purposes.

I think that's a marble there in the spout: http://jaypaull.com/gallery2embedded.php?g2_itemId=83&

As many know by now, a special marble run was done in his honor. Many friends and Bobby's daughter were there. Here is a link to Ant's thread about them at Jabo Land. (link)

A little non-marbular Gropper

Nifty!

I had some which glowed blue. Not the blue which means no glow but actually with blue light. Will try to get a pic.

Guess about what? Those are super.

ahhhh ... I just love glow (: I like the dark blue shades too. anti-glow.

Well done!

Neat

I'll help if I can. If you keep trying and still don't make it, let us know what you've tried.

playing possum?

My dad got rid of his childhood marble bag not very many years ago. He didn't realize I would want it even though it was falling apart. My grandmother made it for him from black and white checked cloth. I didn't really play marbles but I did have a marble bag. My grandfather got it for me at a Navajo store on a family trip out west when I was about 7 ... if I recall correctly.

A rose by any other name ...
