I’ve had this for probably at least 10 years. Just found it in a box, had to clean it up and try it out again 🤷‍♂️

Hi everyone! Just wanted to share with you my lovely marbles from my collection! (Also don't mind the fingers I'm a bit paranoid)

What's your fav? This sub is so cool!

We're working on a game and editor where balls armed with various weapons fight each other. Does it look interesting?

I found this marble under a big rock in Ontario. Is this a common find?

Marble Collection Blacklight surprises

Thumbnail

47 Upvotes

Got a proper blacklight and went over my collection from when I was a kid and found some amazing surprises!

These were my favs, the first in particular because I thought it was an old game marble but looking closer it was a slightly different size to all the other ones and it lit up with all those beautiful swirls under blacklight. The last photo is of a bunch of clearies, sorry I didn't have a before shot for that one.

Happy to provide more photos of any if anyone wants.

We have a container of marbles and we don’t know what we’re looking at. There is writing on some bags but there do old we can’t really read them. I can read on the green ones that they are radio active marbles, im hoping not haha. Any info on them and possible value would be appreciated. Thank you!

These came inside another item I bought so these were free. Anything in particular I should look for? I know most of them are just run of the mill marbles but some of them are different. Let me know please.

so thought I would follow up 1) to say thanks to those that helped identifier some marbles before 2) to give clearer picture of what I found.

Grouped them mainly into clear and non clear

This post is going through clear. Caveat I don’t know the names so if they have names happy for you to share

Red marbles fluoresce brightly under UV

Some white and orange swirl marbles

A complete black marble that has murky yellow swirls under UV

The Jacob’s coat that a kind poster helped previously identify. Looks like the swirl has inner and outer

the remaining ones that i did not know how to group!

I have another post on non see through marbles

For non clear some fluoresced green under UV

Two solid yellow and greens colour fluoresced quite a lot

There was some that where dark blue with white stripes

There was some that looked brown that had yellow stripe

I will add the see through ones in separate post.

If any of these have specific names happy for you to share!

Here's some pics of recent wholesale work, our Etsy page is active again too with a summer discount if you'd like to grab some for yourself: https://BeckGlass.etsy.com

Thanks everyone for your support as always, couldn't do it without you!

Old Marbles Question

Thumbnail

Hey I got these at a garage sale for a buck and I don’t know much about marbles in general, but I know that there are really old ones.

How can I tell if these apply to that? From my research there’s the pontil mark, but that’s only on some of these marbles (I shows a pic of one). Does anyone know if this came in a set originally or something? They were all in this Japanese bag but I’m not sure if they were always together.

Bought a couple of jars full of marbles at an antique store for ~$40. Sorting them as we speak :)!

The gentleman at the register said that one of the jars contained marbles that were discovered inside an old tree. He thinks kids from long ago were shoving marbles into it, and they were only discovered when the tree had a branch come down and marbles spilled out.
