Bbecker56 Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 I hope I'm not too annoying. Again, trying to ascertain value of my 87 year old mother's collection. Thx! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 These may be some kind of industrial marble: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 The solid colored marbles are called game marbles. The smaller ones especially. For their use in such games as Chinese Checkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Clearies were popular in the 1960's -- helped save Vitro's business. I like them. But neither game marbles nor clearies are usually considered valuable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 There's some chance that some Akro moonies or flinties are in with your game marbles. Those would be an example of a more valuable solid-colored marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Some of these look like "fried marbles" ... a fad from the 1960's where the marbles were subjected to extreme heat and/or extreme cold to get a crackled effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 31, 2019 Report Share Posted January 31, 2019 Looks like you might have an interested blue and white (and clear) swirl in with your cat's eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
