Ariellie09 Posted Thursday at 08:07 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:07 PM Cleaning out my grandmothers house I came across two collections of marbles. One in a jar another in an enveloped dated from 1965. I have no marble experience and am hoping to identify and figure out which ones need to be put away for safe keeping(aka out of my kids’ hands 🤣) This marble is clear, and I think the “lines” are seams as they’re smooth Thanks for any and all help 😊😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted Thursday at 08:19 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:19 PM "Welcome to Marble Connection" Looks like a regular clearie or industrial marble, either way a very very low value if any ?? You never know though, keep posting whatever you have 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted Thursday at 08:35 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 08:35 PM Cat eye, try a neutral colored background like gray, white and black don't work so well, something easy, felt or a blanket or tweel, whatever you have. I've found grey felt works the best. for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The size and color suggest that this one was made in Mexico by Vacor, maybe a big “Alien”, not much value though. If you have any others to post look for multiple colors involved and give us multiple views of each. 3-4 marbles at a time please. These clear based ones are usually a bust, look for opaque marbles.

akroorka Posted Thursday at 11:40 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 11:40 PM Pretty marbles for sure. Low value for sure. Based on what you have shown us--I would put them in a fancy jar and ask $20 and accept $15. The cold hard truth is not always what many expect--you will get it from us here at "TheMarbleConnection". They may be a great thing to display in your household as well--just memories--that counts too. Thanks for checking in and for the nice images as well. Marble--On!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
