Steph Posted May 21, 2014 Report Share Posted May 21, 2014 I would keep them as a novelty. I don't know about their value, but they're cool to have as a representative of marbles used for industrial purposes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 They used them much later than the 30s. It is how they transported glass to the factories that made fiberglass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Just to clarify, 1930's and later, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lstmmrbls Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 1938 being the first year of the Owens Corning Fiberglass Co. that seems like a possibility. The pictures I saw that included the glass balls were, I believe, after WWII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
