Al Oregon Posted November 28, 2021 Report Share Posted November 28, 2021 Have not received mine. Messaged the seller and he is going to send another. He said first one was shipped on the 17th but tracking shows it leaving from a post office that closed 10 years ago so....? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al, It took awhile to get mine and I ordered it a few days before I posted this subject. Yes Tommy, I have a few for sale as well🤑. Nice images. Prices of the distant future perhaps.

Just found 30 for $6 in a jar at a local antique store I have ignored for years. 6 are purple… https://www.ebay.com/itm/393514442910?hash=item5b9f49e09e:g:ODYAAOSwsmJhHAVO 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted November 30, 2021 Report Share Posted November 30, 2021 The supply of 1930's marbles is dwindling. Cat's eyes are more accessible ... and more familiar to people, nostalgically speaking. And there are forums dedicated to them, which has to raise interest. Maybe this is a flash in the pan and sellers need to dump while the getting is good. But maybe their time is come. In 50 years, the "vintage marbles" will be the Vacors being rolled out now. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted December 3, 2021 Report Share Posted December 3, 2021 I received my copy of the book. Good 32+ page book by a cat's-eye collector who wanted to put some information out there for cat's-eye collectors. He has some values in the book that he picked up from online, eBay, and probably Larry Knudsen - who is knowledgeable but a little high (IMHO) on marble valuations. Does not have company histories but goes through the varieties of cat's-eyes with good pictures and a variety. Here are a couple of pictures. Sorry for the "cutoffs" - book was just a little bigger than my scanner when opened to two pages. I would recommend the book - the $9.99 price included shipping so can't beat that. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted December 4, 2021 Report Share Posted December 4, 2021 Good for the price. Mostly a price guide that is on the high side. Higher than what I can sell them for. Not much identification help, history or timelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted December 6, 2021 Report Share Posted December 6, 2021 I got my copy too. Definitely worth the price, but not much description for identification, but pictures are good enough for that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
