I bought a $40 jar of marbles and I think I did okay because I like them. I also think most are vintage American made. What do you think?!

It measures 7/8 inch. Thanks for the help!

What do you think?

Okay so I bought that pair of 502s that someone advertised on here. I’m really happy with them though because they fit perfectly and they are cool:) I took some more close ups and I’m wondering if anyone can further help me date them. I know the gripper zipper was used in the 50s-60s. Whats left of the stitching is lemon yellow. They have a steel or iron based button rather than copper, but they have copper rivets. I tried to lightly sand the back of the button but it’s too rusted so I the can’t read anything. I’m guessing mid 50’s to early 60’s but if anyone has an idea of what a more accurate date might be, please let me know! Thanks!

I managed to talk the seller down to $19, he was a collector and knew what he had. It’s my new favorite marble!!!

This marble measures about an inch. What is it?

What do you think?

The marble has a clear core and a very bright orange patch. The rest is covered with white and feels rough.

One seam look kind of like a v. The core is clear.

My reasoning is that it looks clear rather than having a green/blue recycled glass tint. Also it has 4 veins that blend green into blue. Do you agree with my assessment? Can it be further identified to the maker? Thanks!

It has two seams opposite of each other that are both pretty straight. It is semitransparent.

I’m pretty sure it’s Vaseline glass but I’m wondering if it can be further identified. It does not have visible seams or any variation of color. It is semitransparent with lots of bubbles. I have included pictures under natural, incandescent and 395 black light. It’s also a little larger than my standard marbles, I don’t have calipers but it’s just under 3/4 of an inch.

Let me know what you think!

What do you think? Thanks!

She was born right after her mother immigrated from Scotland. I found it on her display shelf. I don’t know if it’s actually old or possibly a modern reproduction that she was gifted. It doesn’t look like it was ever used. What do you think?
