Hi Boris. Thanks for your info. I know very little about marbles. I'm going to the Portland, Oregon marble show this Saturday. Hopefully, I can get some more insight into the terns and the marbles identies/manufacturers. 

Is it best to separate them by color and style, ie, swirls, ribbons or by size??? And I don't think I can take all of them, there's 473. Any suggestion, greatly assists my anxiety! Thanks!

Thanks. Sorting by maker. Gonna try my best.

Thanks for any other info you can provide .

"Welcome to Marble Connection Jack"    

Akro, Peltier, Alley etc.. I see a bit of many vintage manufacturers. Individual pics w/ multiple views (3-4) marbles per post, will help immensely. It may be slower but you will get a much more accurate grade & manufacture I.D.

Thanks Chad! Thanks for the info. Any in particular that stand out for 3-4 individual views. I ask because this was only 191 of the 473 my dad played with as a kid. He did not collect any beyond then. Lots of work to do! 

Thanks Boris. I've got my work cut out for me. These pics are only 191 of the 473 my dad had. 

These marbles were my father's. He was born in 1931 and most likely acquired them in the late 30s to early 40s at the latest.

Any help is appreciated.
