I think i lost my marbles !!!

[oooldman]

When i was a kid I won the marble tournament I think it was 1955 I received a gold metal. More like gold plated lead. I had thousands of marbles in boxes, bags and every available coffee can. God only knows how many I used to kill rabbits with my trusty slingshot made out of the red rubber inner tubes. Many wives and to many moves later i came across 50 or so in a box in the garage and wanted to share. Many are well used a few are in great shape some are bigger and some are prettier but all held a place in my heart ... years ago. The GOLD metal is still hiding in the garage... somewhere.

Nice sets of marbles. Especially collectible when you have the boxes. I bought a huge jar many years ago at a garage sale for $1.00 and have been a collector ever since.

Very nice marbles. One of the things I love about bottle digging is the old marbles you find in dumps. I never found the original boxe's though, lol.

Thanks for taking me back to when i was a kid again.I used to win at marbles had about 5 coffee cans full.Don't know what happened to them.Also had quite a few spinning tops.Too bad then you had no idea what they could be worth now.And thank you again for the trip down memory lane.

If you do find out more about your marbles, I'd like to hear about it, so please post it. I agree with the others, if they aren't collectables, they should be.

No marbles but I do have over 5000 baseball cards starting in the early 1950's thru 1970
