r/Marbles

I really like the colors and how from a certain angle it looks corky.

I frequently pick up marbles on my job site. These two I picked up today and Google Lens says (taken with a grain of salt because I could probably get a dozen different answers if I take the photo over and over) Akro Agates. So now I'm curious what others who know more would say. The site has a house built in 1905. Thanks!

Found a $6 Greiner in a Vancouver antique shop the other day. 7/8" dia. faceted pontil.

Having fun just picking up any marbles I think are cool and slowly learning along the way - I’m sure none of these are amazing or new but I really enjoy them all!

I know a lot of the marbles in the same grid box aren’t even remotely the same type but I have very limited storage :)

One of my favourites is my (chipped) vacor arctic bear (above the Germans) just because I love the name of it.

I was looking to get this jar of marbles and wanted to first know, what kind of marble is the one that does not look like a clay marble?

Just kidding, showing off my collection of Vacors. Having fun learned about the different styles and getting a hang of sorting.

I have been adding a backing to these Billposter marbles. The encalmos came out super clean. There is a nice plume of UV reactive Uranium glass hiding in there too.

My aunt sent me a bag of her marbles. Family has another two 24oz mason jars filled with marbles. Very likely from when my grandfather passed in the late 90s. He was a big collector growing up (1920s). Thanks for any input you might have!

Hey guys, do I have anything cool here? I wanna start collecting.

New to this. Looking to learn all I can.
