Lots of Cats, over half and a lot of Vitro also. Not seeing any handmade, all machine made, might be some buried I can't see.

So do you know when they started machining them? If I grab a handful, the majority have a small circle (that i turned away from the pictures) where it looks like they were snapped off a glass rod or something-that's if that is how hand made were made.🤷‍♂️

Had these put away for over 40yrs, since my father's friend gave them to me as a kid, he told me he was given them at my age-i put them somewhere around 100-110yrs old plus the amount of time the previous guy had them.

Can someone PLS help id them, as i've no idea....!! I just know that almost all are hand made. (I added some over the yrs) here is but a few....

Yeah have taken a lot of ball bearings out over the yrs that seem to find their way in.

I keep a lot of them in 1-2 foot high glass vases & any other big glass containers/bowls with cork lids-i like the look..

Not a truck load, but rather a lot of containers-basically anything that is big, has a lid & made of glass. One of them few pics I sent in-they are even in a foot bath.lol

90% of them came from my father's deceased friend who would be around 80-85yrs today I remember him telling me he'd had them since he was a boy & I got them off him almost 40 yrs ago, they have been with me ever since..

Thankyou for the info, much appreciated, I will have another look at some different ones & if i see anything that grabs my eye, i will send more pics in-no doubt there will be.... cheers.

Have been meaning to get my collection appraised, have approx 27,000, they were given to me around 40-45yrs ago by a friend of my father's who was 65-70yrs old & has been passed away now for 20 odd yrs. He said they were given to him as a young boy. Don't know anything before that..

A few later ones may have creeped in as I grew up.

Was wondering, what do I have...??
