Steph Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 La cancha 16 old marbles in box!! Looks like a modern label but it looks like it might be over some other writing. And the mibs look foreign and oldish. Whaddaya think? (click to enlarge) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC Marbles Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 The seller is from Argentina. Any connection to the so-called South American marbles?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted August 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 If it were from here, I would have thought "wrong". I don't have much to compare it to though from Argentina. How would I know what boxes would have looked like in, say, the 1950's? The other marbles I saw from them were mis-IDed. Said to be 1950's though at most half were. But maybe they didn't know. http://cgi.ebay.com/Dozen-old-Swirl-Marbles-/12060147638 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Oh hey, I just checked their feedback and see another box. The plot thickens. The marbles in this 2nd box are ID-ed as Japanese, and 1940's, though again with an unprofessional looking label. The marbles do look like they could be 1940's Japanese tho. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120595793667 He's not making much money on them. What if they're real and he quits selling because they're not profitable. What might we miss out on seeing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
