Chad G. Posted September 14, 2023 Report Share Posted September 14, 2023 "Welcome to Marble Connection Ashley" Most of what I see isn't worth more than a couple penny's but one marble can make all the difference !! Looks like some foreign and some vintage, for a better idea sort into groups of 4 or 5 w/ multiple views for a more accurate I.D. Measurements in fractions of an inch can be very helpful also again "Welcome" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted September 15, 2023 Report Share Posted September 15, 2023 Go ahead and sort all the white based marbles first. Sort the big ones next. The rest of them just sort them by color 🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley101287 Posted September 18, 2023 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2023 I also have a ton of these. The we're made by my neighbors dad. They were made by a company called Tracor, and the were made to be melted down for military use. I can remember exactly what for, I'd have to ask my husband later. Have you ever heard of them?

Sounds very interesting. I found this, is does say NASA used them in space balloons, guess there's a whole lot to it that was unknown to me, good post !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
