It amazes me that a small glass ball has a value lol. And that they have names, I had a big box full of marbles when I was a kid, used to race a handful of them across the kitchen floor, never occurred to me they had a value or name.
As I mention in the vid, I am a novice with marbles. There is much to learn and the subject runs deep. .. Couple clarifications : There appears to be one handmade shooter - The irridescent one(not vintage), and others are machine made and older. I purposely didnt give an age to any of them, cuz I am no expert (yet, LOl) . And When I use the term Agate, this is the name of the marble. As in AKRO AGATE which I pointed to. Sorry I didnt mention that. There are also marbles made from stone agate. So 2 different terms and meanings. Sorry if there was any confusion. There are also clay marbles . I unfortunately didnt have time to mention all these details. The video would be too long. Lol.
I played marbles once or twice as a kid, with my lil sis. I also had Steeleys--Metal shooters
I sell them for 1.00 each at the flea market.....even though I know they sell for more on eBay.....i still make a good profit and so do my customers.
Can I order some from you I just want old marbles from my child hood
the marble with the worm looking thing inside more than likely made in Germany. And as well the speckle ones. Highly sought out for with high value. Dont use anything on the one you thought someone painted. They painted agate marbles , and the older marbles dont have a high shine to them. No bubbles as well inside. Sulphide reproductions were made in 60's in Italy during 1960s. Pontil marks testify they were hand made not be considered blemishes
Thx for that info !
The speckled ones or confetti are not made in Germany. They are actually made in Mexico. The company name is Vacor. Unfortunately they are not a valuable marble, about a dollar. The shooters (about one inch)are not always more valuable either, sorry. It depends on the maker and what type of marble it is. There are a couple nice marbles but only a couple. The cats eyes are just not worth more than a dime maybe a quarter at most for a really nice one. That being said there are some cats eyes than can bring some good money but it really takes an expert to tell you which ones they are. The big one you have is more of a boulder maybe a toe breaker. They have a different name for each size. It's easy to look up. The two at the end I'm sorry to tell you but they don't have the value your hoping for, the smaller of the two also looks like a Vacor named Michael Angelo. It is beautiful marble but still only worth a couple bucks. The big one is also not worth more than a couple bucks. It's not a popular vintage marble. The ones bigger than an inch were probably not used to play marbles by the kids. They are just to big to shoot with. Now I'm no expert. I've only been collecting and studying them for about four years now and I make plenty of mistakes. However I think I'm pretty close with my assessment here. I'm sorry and hope I haven't delivered a ton of bad news. Unfortunately you can't quit the day job. Best wishes and good luck.
Terribly wrong information. None of the marbles are German. Not one. That worm marble is a cheap Mexican Vacor flame. The speckled ones are either Vacor de Mexico or Asian, not German. They are worthless marbles. NONE of these are "highly sought out for with high value." The "pontil mark" is not a pontil mark, but just a simple "cold roll" where the marble didn't form fully before it cooled. The most expensive marble in the entire video is maybe $1 to $5. Come on.
@@darenkroon661 thank you for the information, i appreciate it
We call the sparkly ones with speckles and the white one with speckles are goose eggs here in Australia they came out in the early 1990s. It is a top marble it's a keeper they come in all colours I love them.
Very nice , thank you for sharing.
Iv never tried to identify marbles before. I do collect uranium glass. I have a few dozen uranium glass marbles, and that shooter in the beginning looks like a uranium glass marble. Hit it with a black light and see if it turns green.
I have a lot uranium marbles. Want to buy them I will shoot you a picture.
The key is to not lose them; for goodness sake hold onto them.
I see what you did there.. Hahaha!!
Holy Heck MIND BLOWN!
first checked them out in "kovels" antique book...had some in a mason jar...am going to look for them...now!..'.lol "thanks...very cool..put your marbles on a micro towel...no rolling...or any towel...

if you put the marbles on top of some washers (metal discs w/ open middle) they will stay put and are easier to handle
Thx. I have them displayed on washers.
My grandpa only had marbles to play with as a kid. He’s not a collector but he would always light up and buy them here and there throughout his life because of the memory. Last time I counted was over 4,500….. a glass lamp full and the fish tank collection were not counted lol.. as grandma says “He hasn’t lost his marbles.”
I don't have Facebook but I inherited nine jars marbles I'm still learning some are beautiful I separated them and I have a really wide variety I know the hand made one's have a pummel mark on them that makes them much older great video though keep up the good work I'd like to see more
You mean pontil
@@barrywainwright3391 I don't use the keyboard just a microphone if I get a pretty close then people understand sure would like to have a better understanding of how much all these marbles our worth
I love learning . this is very helpful . I have a small collection of marbles and that red and white one i have . thank you
Gosh, I didn't realize my true marble expertise until I watched this video, lol. Yes sir, we are picky about the pictures people post and want help with ID, a good clear picture of all 4 sides taken on a solid back ground, preferably grey.
I have a big jar of marbles the I have found over the years arrowhead hunting and metal detecting. I would love to know more about what I have. Some are very nice. I have some clay one's I found walking the creek as well.
Hi I think i said I am a newbie novice. Thx for watchin.
There was no marble expertise in this video. Let me explain: First, not a single one of these is handmade. Not one. The markings are called "cold rolls" and just mean the marble cooled before it fully formed. None of the marbles are from Germany or Murano Italy. Not one. Every marble in the 2nd large group - aside from the 1st 5 - are cheap Asian or Mexican with nothing worth more than maybe $1 at best for the large ones. Hundreds? SMH The dark tint cat eyes are just cheap Japanese cats. The "speckled" are garbage marbles from Asia. The iridescent marbles with the little worm things inside are just Mexican Vacor flames worth about 1 to 5 cents. The one with a continuous noodle inside (pinkish) is a Vacor Spaghetti - of no real value. You do have one Alley swirl in the large group (green swirl on white), which belongs in the other group.
Shine the light from a phone through them
UA-cam has some good videos showing how marbles are made, and how they get swirls and whatnot on the center.
Yup, very cool process.
Lutz, Corkscrews, Swirls, Onionskins, Oxbloods, Patches, Sulphades etc.... So many to learn about! I'm way into it!
When I lived on a farm, there were these wild people, big and hairy things they call Bigfoot, they used to leave a marble every time they took one of our pigs. They got me started in collecting marbles
And German Benningtons too
My child of age 13 is obsessed with marbles
That's not a child
Got a large one and it is of the earth hand made
we called the glass ones cat's eyes
I have some large glass marbles. I can't go on Facebook, I'm banned because I refused to give them my personal information. It's my understanding that clear or translucent glass with things inside the glass are worth more than others. What info I could find said they were worth about 50 each for what I have, give or take a bit. Mine are quite large, well most of them.
toot tall.
Wrong. These are cheap Vacor de Mexico flames worth about 1 cent to 5 cents each. You're thinking of German Sulphides, which these are not.

i found A marble out in my yard the other day and i think it's kind of old ... Its A cat's eye ,... And it's not super round like...
The guys asking you for better pictures were not trying to be offensive. In order to be able to tell who the manufacturer is, it takes some really good pics inorder to see the seems and the different folds. The differences can be very subtle. It's also important to really see the colors. Every company used different glass and it makes a big difference in judging who the maker is, value and everything else. Bottom line is the better the picture the easier to identify.
The speckled marbles look like Vacor marbles from Mexico
Thank U for that. Im a novice really.
I basically have a surprisingly similar collection how can I send you a pic to compare and possibly a pic of yours
Red and white on the backnalley
good video or a newbee. i have a couple of marbles 2.5 inches..well i need to find out the value. thanks for this video
Ive accidently found a old San Angelo, Texas Dump in my friends back yard ,, pulling stuff out ...coins .. marbles.. dice ...bottles .. buttons u name it .. even found a 13 star military pin ... and also a pretty big topaz gem .... anyway u or someone u could send me to that might can help me identify all my marbles and maybe help me on how mch they are worth? i have dug up total 40 marbles and im findng them in every spot i randomly choose to dig ..
Hi, i belong to a facebook Vintage Marble Identification group. search over there and join. Then take really good close up pics and share them with the group. someone will know more than myself. i am a novice.
@@CaliforniaPickin thx ima do that
"Antique marble collecting " is a good book there are several books out on marbles but so books are older wit outdated information and the prices are always changing
The orange & blue appear to be a Peltier as well.
Do you buy big collections of vintage & antique marbles? I have a ton, lots were my grandparents and I've bought a few large collections over the years. Time to downsize!
Yes, it is a Peltier for sure
funny when I was a kid, you could buy them for very little.
Howdy.... the vast majority of the marbles you show are Vacro de mexico marbles __ theyve been around since the 1930's and are today the worlds largest marble company ...NONE of the marbles you show are handmade they are all common machine made marbles...the surface imperfections you see are very common in low grade glass formulas used in production this happens when the glass cools to quickly going through the machine rollers.... hope this helps a little 😉
You don't know your marbles, they aren't made in mexico
@@billf5357 Yes, they are made in Mexico. He's correct. The ones that aren't are made in Asia. That's it. Just a few American marbles and mostly foreign otherwise.
Yes confetti
would the confetti ones be an end of the day one?
They have tiny colored pieces so that's why its called Confetti.
Not end of day marbles. These are simply Asian "speckled" marbles with embedded "frit." Of no value.
I was given a jar of marbles from a 91 year old gentleman who played with when he was boy. How do I find the value of them?
i would join a Facebook Marble ID group and ask them...
I just acquired some nice marbles. How would you clean them? These are pretty dirty! Thanks
Suzanne Beam wanna sell marbles

One way to clean stained, surface corrosion glass is with spray carburator cleaner with a softer no metal scratchy pad.. this usually removes all but the toughest build up.. next I use the wadding polisher"NeverDull" that comes in a can an is similar to just cotton wadding.. but has been treated with a super fine polishing agent that cleans an polishes almost everything.. after these steps.. buff with a clean terry cloth.. BOOM like new
Good luck
Salt and warm water. Let em soak and whipe em down
did you check for uranium
I found a cool looking marble but I don't know if it is worth anything
I found an old marble that is kinda lopsided maybe homemade?
No. Not homemade. Many times a marble just doesn't fully form into a complete sphere. It's very common. Some of us collect even these because they are cool.
Wow
on facebook were would you go?
Are you selling these? I would likely be a buyer for the first group ! (If I can afford any )
MUDSWAT I have old onrs. and I have different ones if you are interested text me back.

I have a large collection of marbles just inherited from a family member passing. My wife and i are looking to sell. If anyone could point me in the right direction we would appreciate it very much
Hi, join marble Identification Groups on Facebook. Post good close ups in that group. ask them nicely to ID any of them. Then when u have the names and makers u go to ebay and search those names and see what they sell for. Thnk. U 4 watchin!

Can u send pictures to clarktanya80@gmail.com
@CaliforniaPickin - please could you help me?! I saved a big bag of marbles after my father and brother died. It's basically an odd ball collection over 50+ years. I want to sell them and don't want to get ripped off. Can you contact me? Or me contact you?
Go to Facebook and join the marble group Marble Identification. They are experts, and i am a novice. Hope that helps.
Post a video of what you have if you still have them ✌️
@@marblebuyer1 Hi, I havent sold any. I still have all of them. Which do u like?
The horde of cats eyes are worthless.
Yes I know. Thx.
No true. It depends on what kind of cat eyes they are.

Marbles are made by thr millions how can you tell what is what no two are the same and couldnt two companies make the same color combinations?
Hi, good question. I am a newbie, & not an expert, but they can recognize these differences. It's an deep genre of collecting. However, they did try to create original looking ones, apart from their competition. There are books can buy, and groups u can belong to, in which they will help u with ID'g vintage marbles. Thanks for that question.
CaliforniaPickin are you interested in buying my collection. Give me a holler back ASAP. If you are interested in them.
im a kid
More ads please....sarcasm
I not 13 I 9
Since your not an expert then how can you value them?
So you don’t really have any knowledge of what any of yours are worth… suggestions as to where to get that info?
Hi, I would join a Facebook Marble group and post and learn over there. Marble Identification group.
