Standbyme Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Hello, I am going through my father’s stuff who recently passed away. He has some old (obviously) marbles…but I ran across this jar. Are these marbles? Some of them are lob sided. I have never seen anything like these before. Any help would be appreciated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Oregon Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 They are Bennington marbles. Made in Germany in the late 1800's. While old, they are still fairly common. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Welcome to the Marble Connection Standbyme, Benningtons from your Dad--Very cool. I would put them back in the jar as remembrances. These are collectable, mostly as a cool display in a variety of instances and with a variety of folks. There are some that show more or odd colors that are desired by marble collectors. I agree with Al --these are quite common. Show us what else you have and expect the best of ID's on them. Once again, welcome to you and as always-- Marble--On!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Standbyme Posted February 10, 2023 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 Thank you for the replies. 🙂 I will post some pictures of the other marbles that he has sometime in the future…he has quite a bit. (By my standard…but probably not by most people here! 😂) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
