It almost looks like tin foil inside the marble

here's a few more pics

I don't know about this one. I was at a glass store and bought some jars of marbles. He could have made this one himself, but I thought I would get some input. Measures about 5/8" and looks to have either some gunk on it like it may have been glued to something. I know the pictures are terrible, but the silver wasn't showing up well in the pics. The one pic is with the light off only, no blacklight.

I messaged him a question about this item and he told me it was his fathers, who was in the boy scouts, and that the marbles were authenticated by a local antique dealer. I think the biggest thing that makes it seem fake to me is that there is no info anywhere on the net about this item. If it was a giveaway at the jamboree, there would have been ~30000 of these boxes would have been made, and surely at least one other one would have been documented some time in the last 75+ years.

I like it. A lemon drop would be good too, cause it kinda looks like the candy

Also, they created an emblem for they junilee, which from what I read was widely used for memorabilia from this event. It does not look like the one on the box.

Maybe they got confused when someone was taking about an akro boy scout marble and put this together?

There is no mention anywhere in Google search results indicating that this was ever a giveaway at the jamboree. 1937 was the first year of the jamboree, but the only non-boy scout related memorabilia I could see was a coca cola ad. I think if thus was a giveaway, at least one other one would have been on the market recently enough for Google to index it

The more I feel it, the texture is a little bit like a brick style marble

You could say worn. It measures 5/8" one way and 9/16" the other because the one end (pic 2) is kinda flat

It doesn't seem damaged, I think the shaping is because it might be hand made, but I am certainly thinking that it may not be a marble

I don't, but I might have to get one now lol

It feels a bit waxy to the touch, but definitely isn't wax.

There were 3 of those oxbloods. I believe they are limeades, but I'm not 100%.

I just have no idea about this one. not 100% spherical.

Here's a few more pics from the jars

That's the one. My second german. It's pretty beat up, but I'm excited

It's in the jar on the left

So I got these 3 jars of marbles today for $50, mostly because of one marble I saw in the bunch. Do you see which one? More pics to come......

In doing a little more looking, could it be a master marble sunburst? It does look to have a little clear patch on one pole

Plus I wonder if people like more of a mix or a bunch of the same type

I am not in a hurry to sell them, and I would definitely sell them in a way where the buyer would be able to see the marbles they would be buying. I really just want to know if it is worth it to put together a few lots of 25-50 marbles each week.

Thanks, that was very well put. I actually think this one is going in the keep pile, which is why I was so curious to see what it was.

I am working through a collection I bought and I am wondering if it is a good idea to sell some of them in unsearched grab bags? What is a good number to put in a bag? Any feedback is appreciated. Also I apologize if this is the wrong place for this.

How are these pics?
