Brent1986 Posted January 12 Report Share Posted January 12 Pretty cool find in an antique shop! Berry Pink Ind. I didn’t buy them but if you all think I should’ve I can go brave the storm we are getting today and go back to get them!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that you show is quite common, the Pelt one is less so and way more desirable. $25 dollars is all the money here and not worth weathering the storm imho. These were a part of a “Chinese Checkers” game box and were not sold as separates as far as I know— Marble—On!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-rett66 Posted January 15 Report Share Posted January 15 I like finding a gem in a bag or jar. I’m getting better at recognizing them. What gets me is how many I let get away. Just the other day I picked up a jar and put it down because I didn’t see anything that caught my eye. Soon after that my son picked up the same jar and found several really nice marbles that I didn’t see. One of them was a German handmade. 😩. I couldn’t believe it. Great find Schmoozer, I like sparklers too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, "Welcome" Thank you sir. A young(45) newbie here but all about those lovely west virginians and of course the german handmades . No interest collecting the modern, 50's+ but wanting to learn them just the same. I had a couple marbles from younger days that were not thought much of just acquired some how. Three years ago I bought a house on an old lot in town and while land leveling the yard these round colorful beauties kept popping up everywhere and after researching I was hooked. Pelts, Vitros, Christensens, Akros but surprisingly no Masters... yet lol. All players that kids from long ago have dropped or lost. Also jacks (the 50's to 60's not the early large ones) little girl glass hair brets that were basically marbles with a hole through them among other kids odds and ends. Out of the hundreds of marbles I've unearthed so far non have been bobby dazzlers but to me priceless. Best I would say a Peltier NLR Liberty no marks of being played a five color Akro Popeye that was played religiously unfortunately a 1 inch dark brown Bennington.. corkscrews an auger a ghost ect. ect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When moving in there were signs of it being a private day care. Don't know how far back that went. Oldest arial map i could find was 1956, which photo technology wasn't too great and with tree overgrowth made it impossible for me to tell what structure was here. I'm thinking a livery stable in the late 1800's (when the town was established) to 19--? because of horse tac and wagon parts I've found. The 1909 and 1915 Sanborn fire maps unfortunately only show right at my property boundary. Another main reason for thinking it was originally livery stables besides the multiple artifacts was the smell of manure while land leveling lol.

B-rett66 Posted January 24 Report Share Posted January 24 So everyone here has one of these or at least seen one. My daughter and I hit some antique shops recently and I came across this Norman Rockwell, “Knuckles down”. I bet I walked around that place for two hours and on our way out I spotted it. Mr. Rockwell captured the moment perfectly. The two boys both have empty marble bags and the look on the face of the boy in the striped shirt is priceless. That obviously is his last marble. My daughter is a fiery redhead and I guarantee you she would take your last marble too. That’s my girl 😁 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-rett66 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Checked the mail and look what showed up today. It may not be a rare out of circulation book that everyone’s after, but it’s some cool reading, and may just add some knowledge to my hobby. Best thing is the purchase was a donation to the West Virginia Museum of American glass. 👍 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caterpillar Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Looks like it'll be a good read! The museum has a huge array of publications available...I'm assuming this one is number nine in the list of monographs linked below? http://www.magwv.com/museum_store.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-rett66 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 Yes its #9. One more to add to the collection / Library 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schmoozer Posted February 1 Report Share Posted February 1 Went to a new consignment store today. There was a table with open baskets of marbles, started cherry picking. Clerk came over and said they were for sale as a lot. After seeing the 15/16” black clown and odd green corkscrew with colorant, it was a done deal. The marble King bag (Heaton?) was a bonus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
