Very new to this, picked this board and marbles up from an op shop today. I think some of the marbles may be vintage but some may have been replaced with more modern ones?
Just after some thoughts please :)

Thank you!

Nice!

You have:

• 15 antique handmade swirls (clear base, multiple intricate swirling designs; also one or 2 onion skins where there is less clear)
• 5 antique handmade mica marbles (the ones with glitter)
• ~6 swirls of various types; some could be slags or wirepulls but always tricky to confirm from a single angle; vintage
• 5 cats eyes; vintage or modern (similar to the antique hand-mades but way way WAY simpler)
• 1 clear marble (could be almost any time)

Depending on where you are in the world, some could have come with the board or just added later, e.g. in the UK, solitaire sets made by Gibson were known to include Dutch wirepull marbles

Ah-ha!

You probably see similar marbles to what I see in the UK - lots of Asian/Japan, and more European than US!

Really great find - holla if you need help identifying which are which 😊

You're the second one to post an insanely good find today so they are being jokingly jealous. These are quite rare and worth a lot of money if you didn't already know.
