RE: New Marbles - 7/6/2007 1:58:11 PM    stinger haut   Posts: 518 Joined: 6/7/2006 Status: offline Hey Zane, How old are these marbles? The reason I ask is that my wife and I bought a couple of old Plantation homes from my old neighborhood. We played marbles as children. This was around 1948. Since moving back I have found some of our old marbles tucked away here and there. Some of them were from my parents chilhood. I just like to keep them because they are chidhood memories. How can you tell the age of marbles? Stinger (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 2

You can tell the age by the pattern, and colors. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to stinger haut) Post #: 3

I think he is off to a good start. Attachment (1) (in reply to zanes_antiques) Post #: 4

RE: New Marbles (my last dig I got these) - 8/10/2007 4:01:27 AM    diggincajun Posts: 180 Joined: 8/8/2007 Status: offline Hi all, I got these in my last dig in Jax, Fl. I do indeed must have hundreds of them, I prefer to keep them and at time pull them out and just admire some of the really neat colored ones. Happy digging everyone.
