Book On playing marbles 40 ways and the rules

[Edward]

Here is an insight to a small book...in German...interesting. Should anyone like me to post all the pages ?

Hello Edward, It looks like a nice book and it's always fun to see different variations of marble games. But I would probably most enjoy the pictures since,

Meine deutschen Sprachkenntnisse sind schlecht und verkehrt herum sind sie schrecklich!

Because I only had two years of German language in high school, and that was about 45 years ago.

I had to check with a translator just to make sure I got that sentence close.

Fun find!

 

I wonder if they there would be different games from what kids play or played here ... and if they are historically based games or new inventions by school teachers or whatnot.

Here is a similar old American book from 1973

I'm pretty sure I'd get more out of that one. But Galen, I thought you once said that anything younger than you wasn't old . . . change of heart? lol

I couldn't remember if I have that book from 1973 ... but I didn't see it when I glanced at the place where most of my marble books are stored.  So I found one cheap online and it's on the way now.  Maybe I'll end up with two.

My Fred Ferretti book arrived.  Next project ... go outside and practice the games!

For anyone who might want to have the German book for their own, bookfinder.com shows many copies available for under $20 including shipping to the U.S..  (Some of the covers look different, but I'm still guessing the same.)

Does this link work?
