PittsburghMarbles Posted September 25, 2021 Report Share Posted September 25, 2021 I just bought another shelf today, still need to buy another shelf to display all of my marbles. I have every marble company in the americas represented to the modern day, however I donât have my CACs or vintage Vacors out yet. I also have a large collection of pre WW2 Japanese, antique Germans and most well known vintage European machine made marbles, lots of those are still boxed. I knew nothing about marbles 2 years ago but ever since I started to learn about them in 2019 Iâve been obsessed and have met many who are important in the marble community since I live only an hour away from WV and an hour from the earliest marble companies in the Akron/Canton region.  Then I have to buy about 6 more shelves to properly display my antique bottle and general glass collection in our finished basement. I also need to buy some proper lighting. Eventually I want to buy lots of fancy museum grade glass displays but they are so expensive, like thousands eachâŚÂ  Anyways, post your collection and displays for them. I just moved a few weeks ago so most of my stuff is still in boxes. And each week I add more and more marbles to my collection so itâs a never ending process of rearranging and the need for more shelving.  Hereâs my shelved collection as of now. My whole room is still full of antiques that I have yet to display properly. And we just got a dog so I canât really take anything else out yet thatâs boxed because sheâll eat it and or jump on it. On a side note, shelf is a strange word⌠2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittsburghMarbles Posted September 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Since I made that post I put out about half of my alleys and alley slag. Still have to find the other half thatâs boxed away.  And hereâs our Lab puppy thatâs ready to eat any marbles within her reach.. although sheâs fairly well trained at this point to leave it upon command wherein thereâs something she shouldnât chomp on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 I moved this collection a couple times, some of them have found new homes between now and then but that's how I had them set up at my old place 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021  I do not have any really large marble displays. I do display any Akro Agate that I come across in a variety of ways. These qualify in my world.  A large sugar bowl and a small sugar bowl---they sure had a bigger sweet tooth in the past than I ever did. More than likely found in the great âgreasy spoonâ restaurants of the past rather than the home environment. 5 žâ and 4 žâ across the top of the chrome, notice the spoon slots---they are very heavy---unmarked.  I sort my beat up corkscrews in the big one and Oxblood, Sparklers and Popeyeâs in the smaller one. They are unmarked and definitely Akro Agate Ware. I love this stuff and use it whenever I can to highlight my Akro scores. Akro -- on and Marble---On for sure!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
