I guess I need to get my marbles all together [:eek:] I find them when I screen bottle digs,find them when metal detecting,in the attic, in the basement,and most recently from the cold air return upstairs. They are fun to find. Ever notice,whatever you are doing,when you find a marble you stop, clean it up and look at it as if it were gold, for a couple minutes you are a kid again.[X(]
Thanks, Micah

These are the top of the marble chain. These are guineas. The larger 3/4" ones are worth around $500-$600 each.

here's another of them. i'm not sure if it's any better though. Hey Road Dog what do you think the one on the bottom left is?

Hey Dog I didn't realize those were your Popeyes. I thought tftfan posted them. That blue and red one is sweet.

Those look a little like carnelians. The one I was asking about is blue and orange on a bottle green transparent base color. I got these in a trade for two bottles. One was an amber double eagle flask and the other was a Dr. Hooflands Bitters. I got the better end of that deal.

These are all shooters

You meant Cornelian I think. Carnelian ae more orangish. Those back three are dug marbles from the Akro site. The front two are deep Red Slags.

I could fill the board up with pics.Since it's a bottle site I won't. Zane that's a great assortment in the group shot. Here are some slags from various makers.
