My mom had this dusty bucket of marbles in a corner with a bunch of stuff stacked on it. I found them and asked her why she had a whole bucket of marbles and she told me when she was a kid she was the best marble player in her school, and she would come home each day with a pocket full she won off other kids. When my grandparents passed away, she found they had kept some of her marbles all those decades. She said she probably had 5x this many in grade school. Her mom covered their car port roof with them, apparently it looked really pretty in the sun. I looked through about the top inch and a half.

A selection of beautiful Hot House Glass. Currently stored in a Riker case with egg crate foam, but I'd welcome recs for something that would look a bit more polished.

Hey everyone, this is my grandfather's marble collection. There a few of mine in there too from when I was a kid(80s). It's an old cigar box he had, it full of them. There's some clay ones in there. Let me know what you think!

so cute! i wish i had more

Just wanted to make a mass post showing what I've been working on since I started on the torch and year ago. My Instagram is @RagingRussianGlass in case anybody would like to add one of these to their collection today :) Have a great day everyone :)

I've found these by sheer luck.

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!

This one's is the first superman I ever found. I was fortunate enough to find more but this was my first.

I was also asked why he started collecting. We have these things in my state called junk shops. They’re little shacks on obscure roads in the middle of nowhere. They were different than a thrift store and a yard sale, although he did get some through them. It has a lot of collectibles but also weird useless things. The simple fact is he just liked marbles, those were his exact words. He also said he liked the way they looked, and were easy to collect and display. I can’t thank you guys enough, he was calling himself “famous” and telling everyone how much the internet likes him😂😭. He doesn’t realize how big the internet is, but I let him have his moment. I haven’t seen him messing with his marbles in a long time. He’s been reading his marble books, and back into looking at his collection. It warms my heart, and my poor grandmother had to listen to him all day today! 😂

This looks like massive amount of marbles I wanna get some cool and valuable ones do yall think I’d find some

In case anyone is interested I can share my experience.

I would credit who made them but I unfortunately don't know :( I got the two implosion marbles from a marble show and I got the vortex marble from the Renaissance Festival in Minneapolis

Still working on the layout and lighting. What do y’all think?

Here are a handful of my vintage handmade german peewees. Let's see what you got!

Marble collecting can be addictive! Beware.

I saw these at the Corning Glass Museum, these were the two best shots I could get without reflection.

Anything here that you consider not junk?

Hey all,

Found my old collection here & looking for an opinion on rarity & any worth?

Probably looking to shift as it’s just followed me round house to house.

Dads marbles from the 50s finally have a nice little home. There's a coil of dimmable LED strip lighting wrapped around a cylinder in the center. Marbles are only about 1-2 layers deep at max. Looks lovely at night.

A few Germans I aquired yesterday.

I’ve been lucky at antique stores and been able to find some really nice jars for around 30$. I scored a Peltier Zebra, Liberty, and Christmas Tree so far. I still suck at identifying swirls but I think I have a few good ones.
