Jennifer Bacon Carter Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 These were my 92 year old granny's. She used to keep them in a antique jar, but when they moved in the 80s she thought they got lost or left behind. We found them while cleaning the shed out. Some are from her childhood. She always talked about shooting marbles and how she loved them dealry. Can anyone tell me about them? Some may be from the 80s from my childhood. Idk, if she put the few I got in with them or not. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted November 9, 2019 Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 They look like they are all from the 50's - 60's time frame. First group are cat's-eyes - not valuable but collectible. Looks like some hybrid types with more than one color on some of the vanes (Vitro usually). The other large group of marbles look like Vitro All Reds - again, common. The last couple pictures have another Vitro called Conqueror in lower right and a couple Peltier banana style cat's-eyes (single vane of color).

Jennifer Bacon Carter Posted November 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2019 As for the time frame she was a kid in the 20s. She would of been a young woman in the 50s. My granny always said these were from her childhood. She may of added to it though. Who knows! She is gone now so I'll never know anything other than her stories of her times playing with them.

Al Oregon Posted November 10, 2019 Report Share Posted November 10, 2019 That all makes sense. It's a great starter collection as well as the memory of your grandmother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
