B-rett66 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Oh wow ! You have a very nice collection. I’m still relatively new to this site also. I do recognize a lot of the marbles you have just from the help from the folks here on this site. Just for starters, If you can, make your way to the local library and look for books on marble identification. Robert Block and Everett Grist are some of the authors to look for but there are more. These books are a quick and reliable source of info. There are also many online marble ID sights like Joesmarbles, MarbleAlans ID and many more. Interacting and communicating with the people on this webpage is the best but I’m sure you will want to look and discover for yourself like I do. You have started in a good place and I’m sure there are many more here who will chime in with more experienced information. Welcome to The Marble Connection.

B-rett66 Posted February 18 Report Share Posted February 18 Fungusfinder101 I just checked back to see if anyone has got back and named any of the marbles for you. I hope I didn’t seem to brush you off in telling you to find some books and online sites to help you in your search, but it looks like you have quite a few marbles to go through. I’ve seen it many times here where some of the knowledgeable regulars will ask for pics of about 3 for an easy visual. Right away I see solid core swirls, lutz, end of day and onion skin marbles. I know you may not know what I’m talking about but that’s what a good book could explain . Hope this helps for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Onionskin Lutz :: Opaque Banded Lutz :: Semi Opaque (translucent) Banded lutz :: Ribbon Lutz :: Naked single ribbon core :: Peppermint Swirl :: Indian, i.e. Banded Opaque :: There might be a Maglite in there I can't tell from the pix ?? Clambroth :: Lattacino :: Onionskin :: There are some Joseph Coats, Solid (ridged) cores, solid cores, what look like micas and possibly a Carmel swirl, & a few newer vintage marbles, more detailed & multiple view pix are needed of each marble for a more definitive I.D. I believe this is a Carpet bowl :: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 No doubt! That’s a very righteous collection. German Hand Mades are the easiest marbles to get a solid ID on. At least I think so. Chad posted great examples of Hand Mades. Good books and a little bit of poking around on line. Way way more easier then chasing WVS 🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
