Need help with this group I got a while ago


Tel marbles

Recommended Posts

Hi, Terry.  Welcome.

You have a wide assortment. 

The bottom is mostly common clays but on the right side there are a couple of benningtons and a couple which might be jaspers.  (Would be good to have another look at them.)   This third group could be from the 1800's through early 1900's.

The middle group is mostly handmade German marbles from the 1850's to early 1900's.   There are also some Japanese cat's eyes from the 1950's.  And one or more machine-made swirls.   Possibly a couple other types.  

Top picture is an assortment of vintage machine-mades.  I see some Peltiers, some Akros.  Possibly a foreign marble which resembles Peltiers.  Maybe some West Virginia swirls.  Maybe a slag.  A cat's eye -- maybe Japanese, maybe Vitro.



Start a new thread with just a few marbles.  And a separate thread with a few other marbles.  And so on.  A big group photo gives us a good feel for what you have -- and you have some nice marbles.  For specific IDs,  it's best to only have a few marbles per thread.  Cuts down the opportunities for confusion.
