Hello From A Newbie In England

[Divingbod]

Hi to everyone. I've just come across this site & have spent most of the day here already! First of many I'll spend here I expect...

I'm a fairly new collector from Oxford in England & got back into old marbles (German swirls mainly) while trying to hunt some down for a present to give to my brother.... then I found out just how many people collect them! I had no idea but it's great to find sites like this. Everyone seems so nice!

I do have some chinas I bought as part of a 'job lot' that I may ask some of the other members to id, but I wanted to say hello first & check out some of the threads & topics too.

Cheers

Hi Chris, welcome to the board! You know if you looks at those marbles too long, you'll be addicted! Will be glad to help on those Chinas, post a picture. You're in a great location for collecting early German handmade marbles, many of my best ones came from England. Cheers,

Scott

Hi and Welcome Chris. It's a great learning place here. Lots of helpful folks.

I've got a friend in England and she's the one who told me about the marbles in codd bottles. I'd have never known about them without her.

Enjoy!
