Thankyou everyone for your help. I will break them down into individual posts now that I know what to look for, but we just had a death and are busy dealing with it so wont be for a while- but I do appreciate the help!

I did the whole URL from the address bar eg http://marbleconnection.com/gallery/image/6008-20151120-165146/but it wouldnt allow it. It says "You are not allowed to use that image extension on this community." Even without the "/" at the end. I'm going to try to upload then get it from my website instead. I meant the yellow/clear one - here's a better quality one: (http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/12279146_970995726269354_3163841649203631240_n.jpg) The blue ones are both different- the left one is all smooth, the right one has the crease (in the glass not the glaze) at opposite poles. Do machine made ones still have the obvious folded, pushed or twisted poles, or is that only present in hand rolled ones?Or just a result of cold rolling like the other flawed ones, but not so bad? (http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/20151120_172934.jpg) These have creases too (http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/20151120_173556.jpg, http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/12243534_970995636269363_8655691199827795603_n.jpg, http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/20151120_164406.jpg, http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/20151120_164814.jpg) This shows the different textured glaze on some. Left is smooth, right is rough. (http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/20151120_170742.jpg) This is the possibly antique one? (http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/11986413_970995582936035_6572766223558803870_n.jpg, http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/12240216_970995559602704_7406682016239728000_o.jpg, , http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/12247038_970995496269377_7842976523359527154_n.jpg, http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/12289626_970995542936039_1760879460586052380_n.jpg, http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/12291176_970995476269379_8727745224259641019_o.jpg) And this one- I think its just a spaghetti though? (http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/11988686_970996569602603_735784617726293526_n.jpg, http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/12250037_970996586269268_7976575928278512339_n.jpg) This is the spag with the bubble that I love (http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/12246778_970995659602694_3070935887284336396_n.jpg, http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/12289701_970995682936025_2606104564804082651_n.jpg) This is the flower cat eyes (http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/12241305_970995706269356_2794795243509729120_n.jpg, http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/20151120_170842.jpg, http://www.minifigden.com.au/marbles/12295508_970995616269365_1682407582041449589_n.jpg)

Thankyou for the link I figured the frosty ones were modern - they look very "perfect". I'll take better photos of those 2 later then- I expect most will be from 1980's-2005 made in Aust. I remember the term from when I used to play- there are ones with only one line up to 6 (star/flower?) - do you label them by colour or number of lines etc? Hehe these looked modern too but prob my favourite- one has a bubble right in the middle that looks like it's being held by the swirl LOL. Im trying to add a few photos using the attachment function here but it is saying it's an illegal link? I was just copying the url from the photo when viewing it in the gallery :/ For now I'll just put the name so if you have time later I'd appreciate if you could try to see which ones I am tal;king about (from my gallery): I was curious about the "9" swirl finish on #3 in this pic as I was told that was normally done by a particular company? 20151120-174142 Also these (and a few others) are really wonky - does that indicate handmade or just cheap offcuts? 20151120-172957 Some of them I found similar ones with a main difference- eg this one looked similar but on close inspection one has a definite pontil crease and different glaze and the other looks "perfect" - would one be a reproduction of the other or just different technique? 20151120-172934

Thankyou! I finally managed to upload- the phone didn't show half of the page, including the upload bit. I use fastimageresizer so that part is fine I made an album in the gallery, would appreciate any input pls.

Hmm no way to upload from phone. Hafta try embedding.

Hi guys. We lost my little bro a few years ago and I've finally accepted he is gone... and it's time to sort the marbles I had aside for him. I have a lot, and no idea where to start! Any help would be appreciated. :-) So far I sorted them by approx color or glaze but beyond that I'm lost. I took photos of similar groups, could you please have a look and tell me if there are any that might be special and worth me taking individual photos? Btw not sure how to post pics but will see what happens. .. :-p
