jten Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 If you belong to facebook join the antique german marbles forum. Cover your keyboard you may drool all over it or fall right over if you are not sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted August 8, 2018 Report Share Posted August 8, 2018 Oh I love old cloth marble bags .I wish I had rescued my father's before he decided it was too ragged and threw it away. I would have found a way to display it forever. Just didn't think of it in time. Oh, yes the marbles are sweet too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Jten yes im on there and i do a lot of drooling especially on 5 for Friday Hi Galen yes i see what your saying and the thought did cross my mind but to be honest i think the glass looks old. these guys are maybe to small as well ? i guesstimate the couple in question at 11/16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Yeah, c'mon Galen, those aren't Bulgarians, they're called Leightons 😝 In all seriousness, looks like some good marbles. The blue Lat looks like an amazing example. Did they come with a Solitaire board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orbboy Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Sorry not for sale at the moment. Though the Blue Lat and the Banded Mica were pried from my fingers by a marble buddy who came over with cash. I did have time to photograph it before it left.
