Lbegy Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hello! I am trying to find some information on these marbles! I came across them and was wondering the age, brand, type, and value of these marbles! I made an album with a few of the marbles. Any information would be great! Thanks a bunch - http://imgur.com/a/M9Uhl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Hello. Welcome. You do have a vintage bunch, so that's good. I see some Vitro, Peltier, Akro and West Virginia Swirls. Maybe some others. A nice group. Mostly from the 1930's to the 1950's. At least one from later. Possibly one from earlier but I can't make it out clearly. I'm not seeing any high value ones. You _might_ get over 20 for it on ebay. I can't be sure though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Just the first one. I hit "next" and didn't see any more marbles. Now I see there are pictures below the first one ..... *sheepish* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Picture #2 has Marble King Cub Scouts and Picture #3 had Marble King Bumble Bees. Those are from the 1950's or 1960's. They're very popular and could bring some more money. Edit: I answered too quickly about Picture #2. Five look like Marble Kings. Looks like there might be an older Akro there also, and then some kind of swirl that I don't recognize -- that could be much newer or ... well, I don't know from that view. Picture #4 looks like some 1940's Alley Agates plus maybe one Vitro Conqueror. Picture #5 with the blues are a range of makers. Picture #6 is mostly Vitros from the 1930's through maybe 1960's. Pretty sure the big marble in the group is newer. Maybe from the 1980's. Could be later. #11 has a modern one in it. Probably less than 20 years old. The big marble in #12 could be modern ... or could be an Akro from say the 1940's. Regarding #10, solid red colored marbles could be valuable if they were a certain type, but it's hard to identify them in a photo ... odds are those are "just game marbles". And there are more nice mixture in the other pictures. Sooooo ... mostly vintage. And there are a lot more than I first thought. You could maybe get more than $100 out of this.

Lbegy Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I will post some better and more pictures! This was an estate sale find from a few weeks ago. Thanks a bunch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbegy Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 If you click on the red ones you can see they arent just red - they have some sort of pattern to them. I have blue, and white ones with the same style of a very light type of pattern within them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I understand. They count as solid-colored though. If they have a swirly pattern, that rules out the more valuable option. (The more valuable possibility for the reds would be an Akro Flinty, but I don't think that's what we have here.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
