Clamdigger Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Here are some of the marbles that I have found while digging for bottles this year so far. I would really like some help with the glass machine made marbles because I really have no clue when it comes to trying to ID them. And a added note that when we dig these privys we usually do not find any machine made marbles down in the privy they are mostly found in the first 6 inches of the soil. The German swirls do come from down in the privy..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Hiya Clamdigger. I realize you are asking for some ID's but I moved this to the general chat forum anyway because these really need to be shown off. IMHO! For ID's it's usually best to focus on one group per thread. Usually a smallish group, but one group in any case. So you might want or need to start new threads anyway. In the meantime, WOW. -s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clamdigger Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Thanks Steph, I will break the group of glass machine made marbles down into smaller group photos....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 What most people don't realize is that times were tough back then and food was hard to come by. Marbles on the other hand, were plentiful to eat but didn't digest as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
semdot Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 The red on blue swirl could be a Peltier spiderman ($30 mint) or a Peltier submarine ($300+ mint). It looks like a sub from here but we would need closeups. None of the other marbles in that group exceed $10 but still a very nice group. The larger red/black/blue marble is interesting, looks like a Vitro elite. The agate shooter in with the bennintons has a striking bullseye pattern which brings a premium. The pinwheel china is better than average, as well as the brighter teal/brown lined chinas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted December 2, 2009 Report Share Posted December 2, 2009 Just joking, always wondered why so many marbles ended up in privy's. There are some nice lined china's you show, as mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
