Hey all saw this post and decided to go down in the dungon and start to bring up boxes that have been packed away every sense me and the wife moved here to KY 5 years ago.. It was allso shortly after moving here I found my first old bottle and started to dig and collect bottles.So other things took a back seat mostly glass .Horses ,shoes, hats, cookie jars ,ash trays , dishes you get the ideal Iam sure .All over the place like the bottles Ive collected up till now.( all kinds ) Well any way here a few thinks weve collected . Thanks for looking and for any info on some of the thing you might see here.Good luck diggen all. bill
I am starting to collect hand made marbles , but every thing seems to be a swirl to the marble collectors ,macine made ,cat eyes , what ever . I think the marble collectors are still at the beginning stage or so of collecting .[like bottle collecting in the early 70s for a lot of us bottle collectors] I don't think the marble people have a handle on things for the most part from what I can gleam from the forums I see. Seems like a good time to get into marbles as most like the machine made marbles over the pontiled ones ?! Sorry for the tirade , but my head is still "SWIRLING" from looking at marbles! I am so glad to have found this site .
I WILL NOT GO INTO ALL THINGS I LIKE TO COLLECT, I AM STILL TRYING TO RECOUPERATE FROM THE LAST TIME I POSTED ALL OF WHAT I LIKE TO COLLECT ! I still have my bag of marbles I had when I was a youngster, back in the fifties. Darn, telling my age now ! I have also bought them over the years at different times if I thought they were vintage. Never could learn to identify them though. I have a friend that was into them big, but is now thinking about getting rid of them little by little as his intrests have changed to hunting and fishing memorabilia. He is quite an authority on being able to identify the many different varieties of marbles, and I never get bored listening to him talk about them. That is except for when he berates me when I ask him questions I have asked before about a certain kind of marble That I have asked before probably ten different times. I can not keep all that info in my head. He finds it inexcuseable ! Here are a few things I like to collect other than bottles.
