Thanks, Bumblebee! So funny...I've been handling them gingerly since someone wrote 'Handmade Marbles - Not For Playing!" on the box. After running my fingers through them just now, I see you're right about the feel and sound!

Thank you, Steph!

These marbles were found in our family's ancestral farm house (it dates back to 1804 and was built by a Revolutionary War veteran). I'd like to mount them in shadowbox frames for my cousins and myself, as keepsakes (because otherwise, they're just sitting in an old pouch in an old box). I would hate to do anything that would damage them, and was wondering if anyone knows if using hot glue would be ok? I suppose I should try to identify them and attach value to them, but that's a secondary concern. Thanks for reading!
