Whoa! That's quite an impressive marble!!! (even if its a replica) 😮

Thank you so much! 🙂 I agree, I love to dabble in other glass collectibles (especially if they are handmade or marble related). That's what initially got me started on Chinese paperweights --- that the makers also made marbles. 🤓

Whoa that's a lot of Benningtons! 😮 Cool old box by the way too!

Here's one I just picked up (I love the rich blue in it).

Here's some Japanese ones: 🙂

You're more than welcome! 🙂 I love sharing all the cool things/info about those things that I find here and there. 🧐 I think the extra cool part about the paperweights is that all of us have some or have probably seen them at least. Little did we know that they came from such a small area in the middle of China.

Here's my whole collection (so far). Already I'm kinda running out of room on my shelves 🤣.

🤣🤣🤣

Nice!!! Thanks for the info 🙂

Awesome!!!

He's been well loved. 🙂 That banana looks fun too! I guess it just has a little inclusion.

Man! I think I know who you mean Jeff54. There's a guy in India selling a lot of Asian cats eyes and Japanese transitionals for hundreds if not thousands! 🤢 Is there a way to report people like this to ebay? Reminds me of a Rick Steves travel episode I saw a couple years back. He goes to Egypt and a bazaar vendor literally confronts him and says "How can I take your money?" 😕

Nice one!

Yeah! I have a little jar of these guys. I wonder, were they made for Chinese checker sets?

Incredible collection!!! 😃

Here are some others I just found today (a little north of Seattle):

Whoa! Those look amazing! (The big brown one intrigues me).

Awesome marbles!

In the bottom right corner of the 5th picture, there's a cool red, yellow and black marble. If its old, it might be a nice Akro product.

Ooh! I think these are called "Daffodils". I think I heard Aiko say that they were made by Matsuno but I'm not 100% sure. Some other collectors have said these are pretty early Cat's eyes too.

I couldn't agree more! 😆
