Hello,
My name is Rolf from Kreuzlingen, Switzerland. I have all of my grandfather's and father's handmade Germans and other European collectible marbles from their respective childhoods. They fascinate me. I am currently living in Northern Virginia working on a government contract. I am a Mechanical/Aerospace Engineer.
I enjoy ice hockey, speed skating, cross country and downhill skiing and snowboarding.
I started collecting American marbles about a year ago when I came across a collector at a flea market and have purchased many I really like. The ones I find most interesting are Peltier, Alley and Akro; however, I have purchased others because I liked them. I have purchased many American Marble ID books. Some simply are not in the books and I need help with ID's. I would also like to show pictures of some of my purchases because American made marbles are beautiful and to make sure I am correct.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.
Rolf Schmidt
