    Wanted : Marbles .... update ....

    Tony , First two marbles are slags . The green one is the earliest of the two . It is whats called a transitional slag . It should have a cut mark (pontil ) of some sort , might be a grounded faceted pontil. The blue one looks like a ordinary slag .....but does it have patches of red on it or...

    Wanted : Marbles .... update ....

    Shannon , A few are new marbles (last 15 years or so) , most of your mables are from the 1940's and later and have little collector value . In the first pic , in the 3rd row the 1st marble looks like it might be a clear mica , but its hard to tell from the photo .The next one (orange and yellow...

    Wanted : Marbles .... update ....

    Cupkeeper .. most of those are 1950 - early 60s. with the exception of what looks like a small red clay ( on top at about 10 o'clock ) , the small one beneath it is interesting (blue base with rust to red color markings) it may have some value , post another pic of it . The rest are catseye ...

    Wanted : Marbles .... update ....

    rtr , nominal value to most of them , age range is 1930s - 1960s ... the big lighter colored one at 3 oclock is interesting (little hard to tell from that view ) the big yellow colored one at 5 oclock could be a mineral marble ... or it could be just a dirty glass marble (again hard to tell from...

    Wicker covered bottle?

    RE: Wicker cover bottle? Swizzle , Leaving the wicker on is the correct decision ... I have seen a lot of demis and never seen a bottom like that . Not allot of research has been done on the origins of wicker wrappings . A good percentage are European (wine) also many came out of Cuba and the...

    Wanted : Marbles .... update ....

    More surface finds from the school dump.

    Mike , If the milk says 3 cents , its gotta be kind of scarce and should appeal to non Ohio Collectors . This was a store bottle , it belonged to the store and was marked so to differentiate between it and the regular milks that were delivered to houses by the Milk Man , the 3 cents was the...

    ANY IDEAS?

    Looks like a broken stopper to me also . Used to see those giant "Decanter'" Genie type bottles allot when I was a kid in the 60s. They were fashionable in the 50's People liked to put them on their TV sets , they stood about 2 - 3 ft high and were usually very bright in color with a pattern of...

    Wanted : Marbles .... update ....

    and finally ..... Woody , (If this keeps up A new forum will be needed ) Your marble is a handmade swirl .. more then likely made in Germany between 1880 and 1910 . Its called a divided ribbon , because the core is made up of individual ribbons of glass . It is one of the most common type of...

    Wanted : Marbles .... update ....

    Alan , That a great marble ... tough to assign a value to without doing a bit of research first . Its pretty rare . Clays and Pottery marbles are not widely collected yet . Chinas are collected a bit more , most of the interest being in the fancy decorated Chinas ......floral and scenic...

    Wanted : Marbles .... update ....

    Tom , Average age of your marbles is late 20s to 40s Nothing jumps out at me . The yellow one and the blue one in the second picture are average examples of an akro agate corkscrew type called an auger because the way the colored glass looks like an auger "drill " bit . In mint perfect...

    Wanted : Marbles .... update ....

    Alan , Digger Jeff has ID'd the marbles pretty well . Most everything you have shown is pretty common with the exception of the stripped marble , Jeff described it as a china , but with the dark body color I dont think it is . I have never seen one quite like it . We need a close up or two of...

They are the 3...
