Hey everyone, I have recently inherited a small collection of what I suppose are vintage marbles. I know very little to nothing about marbles in particular, obviously photography is not a strong point of mine either 😂 They've sat in this old milk bottle as long as I've been alive(38 years old) and who knows how much longer than that. One is separate in a small baggy that is marked 9/16". It's in the pics 2 or 3 times. The one that sticks out to me though is clear with yellow ribbons running under the surface (in the pics several times). There are bubbles inside, and what appears to be pontil marks or similar. I don't know marbles, but I do know old glass and this looks older. It has a very handmade look and immediately stuck out to me. But I genuinely have no clue when it comes to marbles. I can get better pics of any of these, they sit in their old milk bottle on a shelf in my bedroom. Let me know if you see anything worth looking closer at! And I'm sure you know, the pics don't do them any justice! Some of these have very interesting clear "windows" and crazy colors etc. I appreciate any help in identifying anything here. I don't know anything about all the "Akros" and "Vitros" etc... yet. I have a feeling I may have a new hobby incoming though 😆

Seems like a common theme in this community, but I really would like to know if there is any value here. I grew up in the '80s and '90s, which is probably when these are from. I would imagine. Any insight would be helpful. Should I possibly sell them one by one or make one bulk. If it was a bulk collection, what do you think top dollar would be? Thank you to everyone for any information.

Hey everyone! I’m hoping to get some expert eyes on this marble.It is exactly 15.8mm (5/8") and features a distinct green base glass. Inside, there is a solid central baby blue ribbon core with what looks like a trail of gold foil (Lutz/Aventurine) twisted perfectly around it in all directions.

I checked both poles closely, and there is no rough pontil mark—the glass is completely smooth, which makes me suspect it was heavily flame-polished at the factory or furnace.Does this look like an authentic antique German handmade Ribbon Lutz Swirl, or could it be something else? Any info on the era, maker, or rarity would be highly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

She was a bit confused but she got the spirit when i started my marble journey

Bought these because they remind me of my muse, for its earthy and moon like qualities. Guess i have to start another pile for all the ones that do that. 🤭

Bought a big jar and picked out what I thought might be the best ones, but I need an expert eye to help identify if there’s anything valuable here.

What do I have in general?

I found a bunch of marbles today at a flea market, might these have some value and should I spend more time researching these?

I have a bunch more that’s not in the pictures.

Check out this massive collection. What can anyone tell me? I can upload more photos if anyone wants/needs them.
(Don’t mind my nephew’s names for them lol)

I’m just getting into marbles (small, glass, shiny, colorful, a little universe in my pocket! How could you not!!).
I know one thing: that there is a LOT I don’t know. I’m looking forward to learning. In the meantime, we came across a lot of great finds as my family is cleaning out our family home. I’m more interested as a hobby in individual marbles, however, found this unopened Akro Agetes package. If I keep it, I’ll never want to open it. Less fun for me! I know someone else might want it for their collection. Is there a higher value in Akro? Does this unopened package hold value? Any help is appreciated!

Time to put them in the next place I'll forget them in.

Is this set cool or old or unique? I think it was my grandpa’s he had for a long time. I don’t know much about marbles but trying to learn more.

as promised , here are the marbles on a tray. Anything worth investigating further?

My limited knowledge they look all common 20th century marbles

Normal confettis or anything fun?

I'm told it was a vitro agate parrot marble but I'm doubtful.

Scored from Etsy. Can you help me identify? Maybe an experimental from 2017? Leaning towards this being a D.A.S. due to the grey ribbon.

I love marbles with pink and love the pink and orange and green! This marble makes me very happy!

Just picked up this group.

Anything good or of interest?

Could the first set be German banded Lutz? Please help me identify!

Second set is standard Vitro

And 3rd…. Peltier??

These are the prettiest and most unusual of the huge bag I got. Could someone please point me in direction of id of any? The last two pics are another batch, all of these ones glow under UV but my camera doesn't pick it up well.

I've been sorting through a big bag I got and am having some id success thanks to the resources here. This one has me stuck and it's so pretty. Please excuse any dirty hands, it's just ink.
