BENgineer Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I am going through probably 100k+ marbles that belonged to my grandfather who passed away around 26 years ago. I got a wild hair and just began this past Monday and have been learning a lot. I think I have the Germans separated now after some help on some FB groups, but am curious for other opinions.

dannyboy Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 Looks like you have a mix of old and newer handmade marbles. Try looking for rough spots (pontils) on the opposite poles of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocyclist Posted August 19, 2022 Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I agree that it looks like old and newer hand mades. You have more than 100,000 marbles to sort thru? Yikes! That's a big collection and could have amazing things in it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BENgineer Posted August 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I'm not sure exactly on quantity, but there is quite a bit. 100k may be an exaggeration. Several boxes and other jars not shown in these photos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BENgineer Posted August 19, 2022 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2022 I guess I should make a new one to general board and post there as I go and can respond to the same topic instead of new topics. I have a lot of them unboxed so I'll make a new one and post there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
