Edward Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Good day to all I am a total novice and been taken by the Utube videos of Stephen Bahr...amazing. Have had a collection for some 20 years which i hope to post.Recently I went searching, due to the vids by Stehpen, and found this lot but simply no idea at what i am looking at. If there is anyone that looks interesting then i can post it seperately. Do not want to waste anybodys time. Many thanks for looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Welcome,These are all modern, maybe new, marbles. Many look Asian but there might be a couple from Mexico in the mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 There are still a few foreign marbles, likely Mexican or Asian in the group, but there are a lot more vintage marbles here. For the most part I see some Vitro Conquerors and other patch style marbles, the blue, yellow, orange and white patch and ribbon style is a Vitro Tiger Eye. There might be a few Marble King marbles too. The nicest marble is the big blue, white and yellow swirl - I'd probably put that in my collection. Of course, it's important to remember that just like with all collectible glass, condition is key - a $100 marble can turn into a $10 marble pretty quickly.

Chad G. Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 "Welcome to Marble Connection" The largest flame looking yellow, blue & white based one appears to be Veiligglas made in Amsterdam between 1949 & 1961, 2 Cats Eyes (both foreign) & the rest look like Vitro, maybe a Marble King or 2, nothing real valuable, maybe the Vitro Tiger Eye the (orange yellow, blue, white) next to the last picture $2.00 - $3.00 tops if it was wet mint, one of 3 or 4 veneered marbles you have. including 2 or 3 Phantom Conquerors, also made by Vitro and 1 Asian imperial. No real value either, maybe keep them for sentimental reasons. The only value I see would be the Veiligglas, still alot of damaged ones and I can't really tell the true condition from your pics. Even if these were all wet mint not much, maybe $10.00, $15.00 tops, if your lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
