RE: MARBLES - 12/4/2005 10:19:25 PM    southern Maine diver Posts: 1436 Joined: 8/13/2005 From: South Berwick, Maine USA Status: offline Hey Vicky... just remember when it comes to marbles... they were used by Kids!!!... so put yourself in their shoes. Where do you think they would have played with them? We find a lot around the seacoast. It seems that they (the kids ) played with them quite a bit around the water's edge where the sand would be quite flat. My friend Kevin Cambridge (diver) has found hundreds of them including clays, at low tide around some of the older houses that are near the water's edge... Good luck to you.

Parents step on them and in the trash they go and they are mostly a boy thing so when they get tired of them and get out the old ball bat and WHAMO! Or maybe a slingshot and PAWANG! Or just dads hammer and, well you know. Here is a pic of my wifes marble collection. A little of everything. She says if you don't find a bottle you will always find a marble.

All I've been finding lately are your typical clay marbles. No glass or Benningtons in the last two hunts. The dump I'm at will yield about a 5 marble average without sifter, and about 10 with a sifter. A friend of mine found 18 the other day. I'm going back today and hopefully will find a few nice ones. Will post Honey Hole#4 later. Robert _____________________________ Have faith and patience and you will find what you've been looking for. R.C. (in reply to Mainely Broken) Post #: 24

RE: MARBLES - 12/6/2005 9:56:20 PM    maxmusic   Posts: 18 Joined: 12/4/2005 Status: offline Hi Sourthern Maine Diver, To reiterate your point... Have you ever tried to swim in Maine water? Even York turns my lips blue and my feet go numb alter 3 seconds in it! The children have no choice but to play marbles, and if they lose to throw them into the water! max (in reply to Mainely Broken) Post #: 26

RE: MARBLES - 1/1/2006 1:26:35 PM    whiskeyman Posts: 2020 Joined: 4/17/2005 From: NE TENN-SW VA Status: offline drat...had all this typed and then got booted...ggrrrrrrr. MAX...nice group of marbles. After the Bennington, the next 8 are Cats Eyes. The solids ( 3 green, 2 yellow, 1 orange) are Chinese Checker marbles...the blue & white in lower center is a Slag...two on lower left look like Akro Agate Patch & Ribbon....and the remaining lower one looks like a Master Made Marble Co. Moss Agate... The 2 transparent red ones are called "Clearies"...often I found these as a kid in the tail light assemblies of older trucks...they were used as "reflectors" back in the day...LOL. < Message edited by whiskeyman -- 1/1/2006 1:28:47 PM > _____________________________ * Member: Bristol Historical Assoc...and, Friends of Steeles Creek Nature Center & Park President: Bristol Tenn-Va Bottle Club Author of: Spirits & Medicinal Bottles of Bristol,TN-VA.
