Bag33

Hi Steph Thanks for the reply, yes there seems to be a good range there...I think whoever was playing with them was quite into the hobby at the time, which is fun to think about... 'the marble champion of 1933'. :D Yes I don't know anything about marbles, and I'm sorry the photos are a bit general. If there's anything you want to see more clearly I'll take some better pics. Some of my favourite IRL are the ones in picture 6, the 'apple-drop swirls', very attractive to me. The one on the far right of that group is similar to the others, but the swirl in slightly internal with clear glass on top. I hope I can find out more about them, and then find them a good home. :) I also like the carpet bowls, there are three wooden 'crown green' style ones just out of shot, and one made of granite I think....it's incredibly heavy. I think they are probably Scottish, as carpet bowls was a traditional game there?? ( I'm not sure). Thanks again Steph. :)

Hello everyone, I have recently found some old marbles amongst my late Father's belongings (he was a antique/bric-a-brac dealer in the UK). There were a few different bags and one seemed to be a cloth 'playing bag' with 1933 embroidered on the front, so that should help with the dates. Most are glass and probably very common, but there are one or two which seem to have better crafstmanship or are more attractive to the eye. Of the stone ones, a couple of them have ribbed surfaces. there are some carpet bowls also in the background. If anyone has any thoughts or comments on these, wants more pictures, or can offer any advice about how to sort/lot them for sale, and where best to sell them, then that would be very much appreciated as well. Many Thanks. :)
