Love it! Happy Birthday, young man! 🎂

Very cool, Chad! I haven't put any focus on purchasing marble related games as of yet, the only thing somewhat related to this area would be a little plastic hand held pinball game from the 70's that uses little steelies. Can't really say that I have come across anything while in the wild yet, Maybe I did and just overlooked them while focusing on other stuff. I think its time to widen the scope while out there! 😊

Yep! Definitely see handlebars I think....looking forward to the unveiling, Joep!

Nice group, Bonnie 😊

Complete Beginner - Any Ideas what marbles they are?

Nice looking Cat's 🐱 -
Did a bit of research and yes indeed, it would appear to be Houze Glass indeed! Since I've only been collecting slag glass for barely a year, and never acquired anything Houze over the years, wasn't sure. Also wasn't absolutely sure if Akro ever produced anything related to candles. I also saw a set of candlestick holders on Ebay (different colors but the same) up for auction for $68. Same "851" on the bottom also. The seller claims that they are 1920's. The sellers feedback/rating is 100%, having been a seller since 2008. I know with Ebay things can easily be shady, but I'll look at that info as a positive? And though I can't test it as of yet, I'm thinking this one that I have is UV reactive. Either way, I got it for under $10 so pretty happy with it. Thanks for the lead on that, Akro! 😊

Looking forward to seeing those pics! We have the church bazaar today at the American Legion at 11am, then after that yardwork. Hopefully going to get those 2 big pumpkins carved today? I know where a huge "drive thru" haunted house is, the plan is to hit it next weekend. But the same scenario, long lines and waiting time. We'll see!

Nice, Nice, Nice! A great day full of great finds and great food!

Thanks, Tommy!

Too bad it wasn't the set...

Will do!

I know and nope, haven't acquired one yet. Soon though!

Hope you had a great day out there! And I hope too see a score from ya! I nailed some slag pieces today (posted), did some shopping, and found an awesome California style food truck! The burritos were $12 apiece but well worth it! Totally loaded and weighed at least 2 pounds!

Awesome candlestick holders, also picked up today. Love em! In hand, it's like chocolate on peach with traces of midnight blue. Also unmarked so it's a mystery maker for now...
-
This "looks" Akro too me but unsure...the only markings are "NO 851"....just a gorgeous candlestick holder though 😊

Now that was a fun scroll! Great group! -
Hopefully your not too discouraged regarding your group of marbles. Collector value is measured by more than just age or value. It's basically all about what you like. I'm sure the ones in this group that were acquired by your grandmother are priceless too you! Every one of us have had and will have again our share of "hits" and "misses" when it comes to acquiring a mixed group of mibs. Never know what you will find! It's always fun finding that container or jar "out in the wild". They're all collectible, per say. Good luck in your search and feel free to inquire with the knowledgeable collectors here if you have questions prior to purchasing when on the hunt 😊
