I had a bunch marbles like those in a cigar box in the mid 1960s. A bag of marbles was quite affordable at the corner store in those days. Single pieces of candy and bazooka bubble gum cost a penny. I think I'd load up 3 cents worth of bubble gum in my mouth at a time back then, so I could blow huge bubbles.

Yes marbles have a good collector following.
I was at an auction in Ohio last year, the collector items being sold included a number of marbles in large jars which had very active bidding. The man had catalogs of marble convention minutes and notes. It was a large amount of documentation.

Hello,

Most of what I see there is Asian and Mexican modern era marbles. 1980s and up. Fun group of marbles!

I found this thread when I searched for another with marbles. I have a jar of them that were passed down to me and was told they are handmade German marbles (at least some of them). Some of these look like them, could any of these be that kind?
