Thank you! I don't want to wash off any of the design on the China ones, so was nervous to do it!
-
These were all from my recent buy of a bunch of marbles. I know the glass ones are German, but am wondering if the non-glass are all Chinese? Also, any recommendations on how to clean them (the non-glass ones)?

I'm good with the deal as I didn't pay too much - I believe it was a fair deal. I didn't think having too many marbles to sort through would be a problem, but yikes - it's a lot of work and not done at all.
-
I am still separating/sorting marbles, but these were the corkscrews that were in there. I think a couple may be Popeyes? I didn't clean them yet, so there's still some dirt on them.
-
I'm guessing Buttermilks, but I've been known to be wrong quite often, so thought it best to double check.
-
I believe one is a corkscrew, but wondered if it has a name and the one on the left I have no idea! Thanks!

I bought a huge load of marbles and got them today. The Blue Devil was already identified, but added it in the photo to show the condition. Does anyone know the makers/names of the other two marbles?
-
Luckily, I am not paying too much for them and since I'm very much a beginner, going through these will be a great learning experience for me.

The guy just confirmed that he'll be delivering in the morning before 11:00 a.m. eastern time! I've been praying all day that nothing interferes with this sale. There's nothing more fun than sorting through a ton of marbles when you don't know what is in there!

Can you tell if it's oxblood?

I'll tell you what I paid after I get them. I don't want to jinx anything! After this though, I'm going to give the buying a rest for awhile. It's very easy to get carried away when it comes to buying marbles.
-
Yeah, I definitely can't wait until they get here! I especially can't wait to see what gems could be hiding on the middle.

So, I am buying these from a guy who lives a couple of hours away from me and he is delivering them Friday morning! I am so excited and am praying that nothing interferes with the sale, but we spoke to each other on the phone to confirm that we are both legit and that went fine. That being said, I am wondering if, other than the obvious German's, does anyone see anything that strikes them as interesting or good? I'm a little confused at the one marked 13 on the side view (bottom right of the photo) - I'm thinking that has to be a pool/billiard ball?? Friday morning can't get here fast enough! He said there's at least a thousand marbles there if not more. They were in an attic that he cleaned out.
-
Wondering if anyone can identify this marble for me? Also, is the darker outline along the red considered oxblood?

Finally got one right! Thank you!
