Garage Sale Marbles


Recommended Posts

Wow, a really nice bunch of marbles with a bit of everything included.

I see a nice Akro Agate transparent orange based corkscrew, a brick, and a double ingot that all catch my eye.

My first brick was reason enough to celebrate. My first corkscrew was a revelation that I will never forget, they started popping up for me after that and now I can spot one like an Eagle spots a fish. I have tunnel vision for them now.

That multicolored one at 8:00 in Image #4 deserves some more images. That may be the toughest one in the bunch to ID.

What is that cool little device that holds them?

Have fun getting to know these all.

Marble—On!!!

😊 thank you! I am having a lot of fun figuring out what is what.. which image is the corkscrew in? 
 

I believe the multicolored one to be a marbled marble? I can get more pictures if you like :) any others you’d like to see?

the little yellow thing that’s holding all of them is my kiddos pop it toy. Lol. They come in every shape imaginable and color too.. this was a basic circle.. 

thank you for responding! I love getting your responses!

This almost feels like cheating on a test back in High School---I like it.

Image #4 holds the Corkscrew

Post the other one in the ID section--I have no clue and would love to see opinions on it.

Marble--On!!!

Well, you sure did it justice.

This is a beautiful collage and very nice images. I wish that I had your touch with imaging.

My first corkscrew was a beat up black on white. I still have it because I keep all corkscrews regardless of condition. You have a very nice one there.

 I remember telling/shouting to my wife “I THINK THAT I FOUND ONE” she confirmed it along with the books that I had at the time. It was and still is a moment to remember for me.

Lets cheat some more. This is fun.

 I think that you may have a Champion furnace marble in there someplace. I have never owned or held one.

Marble—On!!

Furnace marble is at the top 12 o'clock in the picture numbered one. Translucent base or opaque yellow base with darker yellow and red swirl. One of the most common Champion Furnace marbles.

Champion Furnace marbles.

Sorry Sherry,

We got busted--the teacher stepped in. Next is the Principals office.

Thanks Ron--sorry for cheating. Thanks for all of the pics and info. I will always appreciate your input, as should anyone else.

(lets do it some more when he is not looking)

Common furnace marbles are not so common to me in this neck of the woods--just sayin.

Marble--On!!!
