Steph Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Woot woot! Found my copy of Carskadden and Gartley's Chinas: Hand-Painted Marbles of the Late 19th Century. Been missing for years. I put it aside without reading it and immediately lost it. I will appreciate it much more now for having had to wait so long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted June 22, 2016 Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 Glad you found it. I don't think I've ever seen that book. I don't collect the antique marbles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I'm finding so many wonderful things as I dig through my backroom! LOL Lots of marbles too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted June 23, 2016 Report Share Posted June 23, 2016 You might have future marble collectors lifting floorboards to see what they can find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 In addition to all the marbles, I just found the 1967 edition of the little booklet called The Game of Marbles, by Shirley "Windy" Allen, National Marbles Champion of 1951. I did not remember having it, but there it is in a bubble wrap envelope from Ant. This is better than ebaying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
