Promised777 Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 I know absolutely nothing about marbles. I bought a box from an estate auction that had a few inside the bottom as if they were special and the kids wanted to play with them. I've never saw a marble that was worth much, but just in case I am wondering if any of these look old or valuable before I give them to the kids to likely lose in the span of 5 minutes lol. The blue one actually looks pretty black until the flash hits it from the camera, and the biggest one has several little nicks or damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Old does not make any marble valuable. Many new marbles can be worth more than many old ones. What is old ? What is valuable ? If valuable is over $5.00, give them to the kids. But many machine made marbles can be $100.00 each or $500.00 each or more. But 80% you find, will be $1.00 or less. Never hurst to ask and be sure, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Roberto Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Well, the base of mine is a bit different, but the structure looks like that... (I think there are several fractures in the op) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 The more I see in the big one makes me think it's a nice Veiligglas Wirepull. These are popular with collectors now (including me!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
