I'm used to aging glass bottles and jars, that's why I am looking for different or more obvious seams. The bubbles inside also threw me off because with glass bottles/jars, the more imperfections & bubbles the older the glass. Even colors like blue or pink, can tell you what era it was produced in due to the chemicals used in production during a particular time frame.
MARBLES ARE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT BEAST! Much respect to everyone!
LOL!!!!!!!
With Grandpa it was hard to know if it was anything of any monetary value or just sentimental. He was a bit of a hoarder but also collected coins & sports memorabilia.
I absolutely love history so you hit me there with the Ann Frank info. I definitely have a whole new respect for marbles. There are wayyyy more colors, patterns, styles, makes, models, swirls, stripes, OH MY! than you find in the glass bottle/jar world. There weren't as many manufacturers either, glass bottles/jars weren't shipped from overseas in large quantities for obvious reasons.
It's a whole new game in the marble world! 😉
