Here are some of the marbles I have found over the years. Any good ones in here? Thanks for starting this thread. Marvin

Sorry the flash kind of hides the clear ones[&:]

On the far right,second row down,Orange and Black,my school colors!I like that better than the Yellow and Black (bumblebees?) that were always my favorite.You all have beautiful marbles.I recently found some solid colored ones in a "new" dump,but I think they went to a Chinese Checker game.Whats the news on the marble thread?
