bumblebee Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Found these at an estate sale today and was charmed by the clay handmade marbles (not antique but still charming). Somebody clearly tried to make them swirls. Can anyone tell me what era/type these MK are? I have another 100 or so of the same style. I was thinking 60s or 70s?

Steph Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Late 50's to early 60's is my estimate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Neat...I rarely find MK marbles in the wild but I don't know why. This was at an estate sale where the owner collected hundreds of cuckoo clocks, piano rolls, and 78rpm records. I asked whether they had marbles and they produced a coffee can with just these and a few game dice. $7 was worth it. Just wish he hoarded marbles instead of cuckoo clocks!

Steph Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 The clays are fun-looking too. When do you think they were from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Oh, I didn't answer type. They're Rainbows. Called "Tri-Color Rainbows". At least most of them are. One looks like it almost has a Rainbow Red pattern, but with three colors around the middle instead of two. That's a little different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted March 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 I'm guessing 60s. They said the family was very "crafty" and played a lot of games. There was also a huge wooden doll house, fully furnished, that looked to be from that era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
