Steph Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Some nice older marbles there. The glass marbles in the first group are from the 1900's. The earthenware marbles in the last group could overlap with the 1900's but could be quite a bit older. Not sure what to make of the red/white/blue one on top. Because of the way the order goes red/blue/white on top and then flips to white/blue/red on the bottom side, Peltier comes to mind as a possibility, but I'm far from 100% on that. I'm wondering if the 2nd marble you show, with the orange stripes, might be a Christensen Agate. Peltier is my back-up guess on that. The amber on the left of the glass group photo appears to be what we call a slag. Slags are popular marbles from the early 1900's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
