GrassHopper Posted October 21, 2010 Report Share Posted October 21, 2010 I received an old glass cookie jar full of my deceased father in laws childhood marbles, he played when he was youngster. He graduated high school in 1958 so I am guessing that the marbles are from the late 1940's. I have done a little research on some of them and see that there maybe a few of substantial value. Is there anyplace in Ohio I can have them looked at by someone with more knowledge about them? Any help will be appreciated. I have attached a few pictures of some of them, there are more.

GrassHopper Posted October 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Sorry it has taken so long to get back ....I did learn it is pretty hard to get a good picture of a marble with the camera I have. I hope you can tell me something about a few of these. I have attached the best picture i could get.If the pictures not good enough let me know wich ones you think could use closer looking at and I will try getting a single picture of that marble alone.Thanks Again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glangley Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Those below the measuring tape would love to be photographed up close, am sure of it. Beautiful! And what's that little guy doing floating way up top to the left? A picture of that one would be good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chordus Posted October 22, 2010 Report Share Posted October 22, 2010 Oooo, those ones at the bottom look like they might be pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrassHopper Posted October 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2010 I've been practicing my marble photography but still get pretty crappy looking up close pics...Soon as i figure out how to get good ones i will post a few of those from below tape. Maybe you folks can give me a ballpark figure of what they are actually worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrassHopper Posted October 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2010 I have came to the conclusion that I better go buy a price guide. It would be cheaper than getting a new camera. So the wife and I are heading to Borders Book Store today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
