Hello All,
I am new to this site. I truly want to learn more about the marbles that I own. I think they are beautiful and each one has a story. My grandfather passed away in 1994. I found a few tins of marbles when cleaning out his house. My son was young at the time, so I decided to keep them. I guess I thought that at some point he would play with them. He never did and I always kept them hidden away. Years later I decided to find out more about them. One tin was full of handmade glass marbles. The other was filled with machine made marbles. My grandfather's family came from Germany, so I always wondered if the handmade marbles followed them here. I decided to research more and probably have learned just enough to be dangerous! I did go to a marble show a few years back and got conflicting information on some of them. I am here to find out more about the world of marbles. This seems like an interesting site with a lot of good information.
