Ak123456 Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 My son who is 7 came across his grandmas (who is 83) marble collection. We are doing lots of research and he is very excited about these marbles. I have tried to sort them using the tips I found on the site.Anyone have any idea what kind/ brand or era they might be from? Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Greetings, marbles can be all kinds of fun! It looks like you have a mix of vintage marbles - I would guess from the 1930s-60s, maybe later. I see Akro, Vitro, Peltier, Alley, etc., and maybe a few newer ones from Asia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 We refer to some of the marbles in both pics as West Virginia Swirls. A number of different companies made them, one of the most prolific was Alley Agate. These are the marbles that have random swirl pattern and lack the seams you will find on Akros, Vitros, Peltiers, and others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
