$5.00 and I was the only bidder🔥🔥🔥

 

Bottom feeders rule--just a great find Fire.

I have found the same or better just by looking--very hard but worth the while imho.

This is one killer CAC.

Marble--On!!

Picked up this box at a German flea market for $14, for my 3 yr old to play with - then wondered to myself, is marble collecting a ‘thing’ - found this great forum and answered own question 😆

Sharing here just for those interested in what’s about in Europe - and to ask is there anything here I should keep for her school fund, rather than let her lose them / break them / trade them? 
 

there’s certainly a few that are nothing like I remember playing with as a kid in the 1970’s.

is the regular sized brown/orange glass (pics 5-6) with the dimples either side a handmade one? 
 

and the orangish one (pics 9-10) with holes in it like a piece of cheese - is that unusual to have got past ‘quality control’? 😆

This is my favorite out of the entire bunch.

I think that "German Beach ball" may be a thing to consider here--- "Glas Murmeln"?

Pretty cool marble!

Invest your money in other places than marbles.

Selling marbles is a big drag and it takes a long time with a lot of hassles.

Marble--On!!

I got a small jar of these mostly Vitro Conquerors today in a huge antique mall. $15.90 incl tax. I thought that was pretty good. They were dirty. There was a green Akro slag hiding in the middle that was battered and it didn't make the picture. Also a pee wee clearie is elsewhere now. There are two in the right hand side that I am pretty sure one is a Master and the other is a strange one. Both of these have been warriors with lots of honest play wear but no fractures or chips.

Then there are some of the usual WVS in the forefront and a couple that are not Conquerors I guess, but might be Vitro, One has very subtle pastel colors and a double line red patch but I don't think I can photo it.

The rest are really super nice Conquerors, some Victory and maybe Phantoms.

There are 5 Vitro Whitie out front. I am well pleased with all 80 marbles in the picture and it is time to rearrange my Vitro collection display,
