Thanks for the response. I picked these up at an auction in the UK. They were stored in cookie tins from the 1920s, so it's good to be able to put some context on the glass. 

I just picked up a load of marbles from the auction. Three different lots with a variety of older and newer marbles, a bunch of steelies, and some shooters. 

I think I might have come across a Glitter Bomb or maybe a few of them, although I suspect some are just ornate glass beads. Any advice would be much appreciated, as well as any valuation. I don't plan to sell them, but it would be good to know if they are worth anything. Thanks 

New Guy. 

Got a bag of old marbles today at auction. All the same milky white swirl with exception of Cleary shooter and a red and white swirl beauty. 

My camera had a really difficult time focusing on the clear marbles. 

I'm curious if the thin swirls are of any interest or help identifying them?

Of the many green marbles, in my stock, these are the only two solid with red swirl. 

They are very attractive, but maybe not of any value other than to enjoy. 

This black beauty is not much to look at, but rare for me to find. 

Light does not shine through. Its also been used a bit. 

The Blue and Red (or is it oxblood) are some of my favorites. 

Top center is only blue, with both poles having defined partitions. 

The middle marble has a lovely swirl in the second picture. 

Blue with orange and blue with yellow and green. 

Is it a chip or from when the marble was made? How can you tell a chip from an original blemish?

This set is half clear and half color. Three different sides are pictured here. Again, I do not expect that these are special, but unique to my finds.

The black glass glows root beer color when lit, except two that appear cobalt color with thin swirls. I don't expect that these are special, but they are not what I typically find. 

I've separated them into colors for a better look. I will post a few at a time—there are many to get through. 

Thanks for the quick response.

Hi All, 

I'm a long time collector, but only recently find interest in learning more about what I've got in my stash. I came across a nice bunch at auction in the UK. Hoping for some help identifying/verifying my find. Any advice or assistance is much appreciated.  I have many more than pictured, sorry for quality of photos.
