Inherited marbles with the latest being from the early 50's

Just thought I would post these. Moxie's been filling up the forums with great information, and I wish to extend my thanks to Cheese for the creation of Marbles as a new separate forum.

Cheese is the one who is supplying the great info (all I can take credit for is dumping my marbles on him for ID!!) Tx for sharing your pic. I am sure Cheese will be happy to see someone new here!

Thanks Moxie, I edited to credit Cheese.

There marbles were in a jar, and I remember seeing them when I was a young child, in the same jar. I'm living in the house my grandfather built in 1950 to 51 or 52 - at this stage of life I'm lucky to have those memories. I started developing a bit of curiosity about these marbles through your's & Cheese's postings. I doubt there's any of them remotely worth anything, and wouldn't sell them anyway.

I don't collect for the value of a marble either (maybe some day?) Right now I'm just enjoying myself. I only started collecting this past spring so I'm really quite new to it. I believe I see a Pelter Rainbo (at about 10 o'clock, the striped one next to the orange and white) and also perhaps the very top one. I see some Vitros in there too. I can't be of any help with their value; but I am sure Cheese will be on later in the day and will be verrry happy to see your post - especially after he sees how many swirls I threw at him!!!

I went to a marble identification site - not a really good site, didn't ID any of them there.

When I get time I'll take better pictures and post them in this NEW Marbles forum

These marbles were certainly used. Several have impact chips, but most of them are essentially perfect. And a few of them are really neat - at least to the eyes of someone who doesn't know what he's looking at!

Hello Deepseeker ADS!

Nice lil' group of marbles! They are mostly 1940s through early 1960s or so. I see several companies represented there. I don't see any rare or $$ marbles unfortunately, but most old marbles aren't worth a lot, they are just fun to collect and learn about. If you're interested in IDing them, post some closer shots of a few at a time.

Very nice marbles Deepseeker. I started picking them up while MDing at the beginning of 2015. I think that I have about 15 or so now. I will have to get a pic of all them, and see if Cheese spots any good ones in my pile.

Thanks for sharing!

Bring 'em on!

I remember a number of times seeing marbles as a subject - sub-forum wasn't it? Now that it is a real forum, and Tom posts his, you might see interest picking up here. I'll take a couple or so of better pictures and post them today in between keeping the wood stove going. It was only supposed to be 32 degrees as a low, but I get up, fire is out - only a small bed of coals left, house is cold and it's 21 degrees. The battle begins!
