Scottblueline Posted May 12 Report Share Posted May 12 Was hoping for some help with these few marbles I have had in storage. I’m a general dealer and picked these up over the years. I planned on selling them but proper names and terms of marbles are a foreign language to me. If anyone can help me it will be so appreciated. There are two of these glass types which are just shy of 1” inch wide. One with something inside in the center but have plenty of dings and chips. Measures about 1 1/2” wide One white marble with a few dimples here and there, about 1” wide. and finally one deep cranberry red, yellow and white. About 1 1/4” inch wide. One of the photos I uploaded was taken in direct sunlight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 "Welcome to Marble Connection" The first 4 pictures are contemporary handmades. The next 3 pictures appear to be an old German handmade Sulphide, place it in a glass of water if you want to see the figure more clearly. The next 2 are what appears to be a gaming marble & last but not least a Vacor Cardinal. Again "Welcome" 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottblueline Posted May 13 Author Report Share Posted May 13 Thank you so much! What style of marble can I title the contemporary marbles? So they have a type name? I tried looking up such names and was swamped with information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 Alot of contemporaries mimic old Germans in style. Usually there will be some initials or a name and date @ one pontil end so you know the maker. These both appear to be cane made rather than being made with a torch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire1981 Posted May 13 Report Share Posted May 13 I consider the Sulphide to be major score. Let us know the the figurine is🔥 RAR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottblueline Posted May 13 Author Report Share Posted May 13 Fire, even though the condition is nothing to brag about? All those ' dings '? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am writing the descriptions now and hope to get them up tonight. Appreciate the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scottblueline Posted July 7 Author Report Share Posted July 7 Almost forgot - no bids on the gaming marble. No watchers or even views for that matter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
