My meager Cats Eye Collection

[The Nickel Guy]

Yes, these were common marbles, but as a kid, I found them just as fascinating to look at as any others. All my marbles as a kid are gone, my little brother somehow got my bag and they are lost forever but I have picked these up over the past 30-40 years.

When values or rarity was not important I valued my cats eye marbles. If they had an unusual color or several colors, I favored them more. I don't know much more about them today.

I guess there are some Good Ones people want but what they are I dunno.

Here are all I can find that I own in this post.

I have 4 Big "Dobblers" (That's what I remember us kids in my neighborhood calling the big marbles)

A pair of 4 vein examples, one deep blue and the other more sky blue.

Then I have a three color almost "Banana" shaped one

and my best one, I guess, is this 5 vein yellow one with green highlights,

My group picture of the rest

 

A couple unusual ones and a group of pee wees are shown better below.

First a mis-shaped one. It is shaped like a Rugby football.

Then the thinnest red banana (maybe) I have ever seen and finally 5 or so pee wees in the center.

THAT"S ALL FOLKS for the cats

Last one is the best on my Cats Eye shelf. Sometimes less is more. I like the Orange Peel on that one 🔥
