I got a pretty nice bonus this year and I love German marbles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not certain what all I like so far but I know I do like Germans. I was surprised to win the auction. Didn’t expect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe crashbelt will comment on your board ( and the "M"'s), as this variety of collecting is right up his alley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice board though, no doubt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted December 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 There are 36 total included in the auction. Here are the three that are missing from the photograph. Gosh, now I sort of want a lutz and some onion skin. .....and down the rabbit hole I go. 🙄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know I'm just goofin' with you, and you can find the rules for play online, easy enough. It's a lot of fun and way harder than you might think. There are even variations of the game for two players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crashbelt Posted December 23, 2022 Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Congratulations Melissa that looks like a nice original set. Wish I could help identify the maker but it's not by one of the British or European makers I am familiar with. I don't recognise the M mark or the design of the board, and Ive owned or seen 100s of sets over the years. Makes me wonder if it's a US made General Grant set but that's just a wild guess. Best thing is that there's every chance those marbles have always been with the board!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa Posted December 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2022 Here is the actual listing if that helps. I do realize the marbles aren't in perfect shape, but I kind of like that they show their age a bit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/115642808551?nma=true&si=EYhgFIHd6bbyECt6zOMJJnbXrsw%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melissa Posted December 29, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2022 Here they all are. They’re in a lot better shape than the three original ones I found myself (bottom left). I think I got a pretty good deal! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted December 30, 2022 Report Share Posted December 30, 2022 I would say you for sure got the board free and some of the marbles for free. If you think you got a good deal, that is what matters. I remember my first board and marbles like this. I still have it and others. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
