carolk Posted Sunday at 08:57 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 08:57 PM I am an executrix of an estate and have over 6.000 rare art glass marbles to sell. I have photographed and organized them. I can share photos of them with you (or anyone) via a link through your email to a google photo album. I do not know how to start and I have no idea of the value or how to sell. Can you please help me with this? Thank you, Carol [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted Sunday at 09:06 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 09:06 PM We can help here--welcome to TheMarbleconnection carolk. You will have to post three or four at a time with multiple images of each. Look for any scratches that look like signatures made from an inscriber machine—start there. Marble—On!!

carolk Posted Sunday at 09:14 PM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 09:14 PM Thank you... I there any way to send the marble photos to interested people by sharing the Google Photo Album? That is readily done by sharing the Album with their email address. That way they can scroll through the entire 6,000+ marbles. I have over 500 photos I appreciate your help ~Carol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted Sunday at 09:18 PM Report Share Posted Sunday at 09:18 PM How do you know that they are rare? Who is the artist that made them? 6,000 art glass marbles in one place would set a world record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carolk Posted Sunday at 09:39 PM Author Report Share Posted Sunday at 09:39 PM Good question! This is a 50 year collection from the estate of a supposed expert in marbles. I know that the cost to originally purchase the marbles was in the many 10's of thousands of dollars and it is a hand picked and curated collection. Many of which are signed, I would be very happy to share the photos of all of the marbles . I can do that by sharing the Google Photo Album with you (or anyone). I would just need an email address: what is you email? Thank you from Carol PS: my emai is [email protected] 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most comprehensive website for identifying contemporary spheres that I currently know of is Brian Bowden’s offering: https://www.pbase.com/bkbowden/marblesforsale&gcmd=add_comment He may also be very interested in obtaining some of your items. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
