I’m not a collector, but a gatherer because I just like the way they look. This means I have no idea what I have, thus these videos are educational for me. Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Good info in this early “sea sick” camera work video 😂😊 My Vitro collection has been called out! And a few Japanese misfits in my pile, can be separated out, now!
thank you so much for making these videos and helping reignite marble culture! you inspire me to make videos about anything i find passionate or want to say!
Thanks Old School , I switched over to small plumber’s O-rings . I describe and show them twoards the end of the Ravenswood Packaging video. They’re not metal so they won’t scratch the glass marbles, and they grip the marbles so they won’t slide or move. They look good on them too ✅

@@stephenbahrmarbles O rings 4 the win. Years ago when I lived in Florida some of my confounded washers left rust stains on my marbles. Stinking swamp air messing with my collection.😮 Later on in life I did some bartering with another collector. He saw some of the rust stains on my machine maids and swore they had been dug from a rust layer from the ground. The guy actually took every rust stain marble thinking they were dug marbles even though I tried to explain to him differently. Modern-day marble resellers always trying to work an angle to resell at a premium. One of my big struggles with machine is watching uneducated folks spend big money on modern-day jabos and megas thinking they are vintage. Even with all your great educational videos these modern-day Marvel's still slip me up regularly.
My first marble collecting video, there is a lot to digest here but I did get some great info out of it and ready to go through the hundreds of marbles I got through cleanouts that have been stacking up. Thank you very much for a great video.
Thank you so much for taking your time! You have helped me identify and navigate this amazing hobby. My Veteran friend asked me to sell his collection and in the process, I have fallen for these beautiful pieces. I keep rewinding and taking notes. Love your content! Have the best day!
I just found the marbles I collected, found on and in the ground, when I was young. I'm learning to identify them then intend to sell . Most pre 1950 given the timeline I gathered them and who would have lost their marbles , right, around the farmyard back then.
Stephen Bahr I have considered it ,and may keep a few, but i was never really in to them. Seeing as how I currently have the marbles in a couple red Solo cups since gathering them up off the lawn again I'm ok with parting ways . I've got tons of great memories no worries there. Awesome collection by the way
I collect antique bottles, have tens of thousands of dollars of them and have been collecting and digging for bottles for ten years. I finally dug up some German swirls earlier this week and Im obsessed with them now. The late 1800's to early 1900s pontiled swirl marbles are just so incredibly beautiful. Unfortunately, unlike bottles, there is scant information about marbles available online.
@@stephenbahrmarbles Whats your favorite marble book? Seeing as the economy is about to completely collapse, I should start collecting marbles as they are overall much cheaper than bottles but equally as fascinating. Your knowledge is immense it seems on marbles, something that few seem to collect. In case you're interested, here's a link to the "German" pontiled marbles I dug up last week on antique bottle forum. www.antique-bottles.net/threads/new-to-my-collection-been-a-long-time.690763/page-9
Wow ! I wish I can buy bigger marble to built a biggest marble gun . So far i have 5/8" and 1" marble gun . If I owned 2" marble that will be awesome 😍😍
I need some displays like these and the worst part is last year I found about twenty printing press drawers WICH is perfect they hold little stamps for printing but at the time had no idea I’d be collecting marbles and being in à apartment didn’t have room to just store them
Nice marbles but do you have a little boy blue worth over a million dollars I would put a piece of plexiglass in front of all the marbles in case of a earthquake
What would be the least expensive yet desirable type of marble to begin collecting? I would prefer to collect marbles that are likely to go up in value, or at least hold their value over time. I'm thinking that marbles from the 50's and 60's are probably too common to ever be worth much. Thanks for the great videos!
@@stephenbahrmarbles Thanks Stephen! Well, as with any collectible, there's always the concern with modern reproductions, I'm assuming that is the case with marbles also, or not? I did buy one used marble book from Amazon, "Marbles-The Guide to Machine Made Marbles by Castle and Peterson. Is that a decent book for beginners?
Hi Real Time Strategy, those are usually called “Printers Trays” or “Letterpress Trays” they were big drawers used to hold the letter print molds for newspaper printing back in the day .
Gorgeous collection. I just box a huge jar of marbles from a antique mall. The red and white ones at 2:03 I have 7 of them that are Brown and white do you know if it's the same kind, but different color?
Wow this is a great video for people that are really interested in seriously IDing their marbles!You have a great collection of special marbles and I totally see each one as a small work of art!Where do you find marbles these days?I know you need to be always looking and be lucky too!Love your Vitro Superiors!I have 1exactly the same.
You’ve progressed a lot in your collection since this video and have contributed loads to the marble collecting community since. When did you start collecting?
i've been watching yer videos, which i enjoy very much thank you,looking for marbles i have.although i rarely do i finally saw two that you have..in this video at 0:38 in a case in the second row from the left two cubbies down there are two marbles red white blue and red white yellow.. what type are those?
i shouldn't say that because i did learn alot about marbles from your videos.. especially the cat's eye video..i learned i have a vitro hybrid cats eye,a peltier banana and a vacor snowflake
Hey. May i ask your help ? So my neighborhood is built on a 1700s town that was abandoned after the civil war . I started to clear the forest on our property for a woodland garden. I have found a rock Foundation buried in dirt as i been digging it out I found a clear glass marble. Its smaller and it has almost a pearl like shin to it sorta like carnival glass but it clear . Im trying to determine the age of the marble. It was a foot into the ground
Hi Michael, a marble like that , without any markings or patterns would be nearly impossible to identify 100% . If it’s super old , it could possibly be a Codd bottle marble. I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help . Send photos to sbahr@scarletknights.com if you like , and I could take a look. Thank You
Hey man, Ive commented before and your videos are fantastiche. But are there any great marble ID guides that you would hardcore recommend? I dig up marbles all the time while digging for bottles and Ive yet to come across a fully understandable and accurate guide to marbles. Most marble guides are just generalizations and dont provide helpful info as there are so many variants. Anywho, what are some good guides to identifying marbles that aren't just generalities?
@@stephenbahrmarbleshi Stephen! I’m new to the marbles and loving your Channel! I’m from Brooklyn, NY, any collector fest or collectors markets in NJ/NY area? Thank you so much in advance!

So amazing

You can try Rikers cases too , I’m going to try to mount them on the wall . They seem to hold the marbles so they won’t fall . Hopefully it works .
@@stephenbahrmarbles I’ll be pulling for ya 😂 hopefully they will im excited to see them 😂
great marble video
Hi, I have lots of old vintage marbles, can anyone tell me the best way to get them priced up?
Nice marbles but do you have a little boy blue worth over a million dollars I would put a piece of plexiglass in front of all the marbles in case of a earthquake

I want a decent collection of vintage marbles. Need the help people to buy from to start my collection
Awesome! Love it buddy! This is Kev btw :)
@@stephenbahrmarbles yw!
What are you using to hold them and where to buy one?
Sorry to bother you but would you be able to tell me where I might be able to go to find out value of some marbles I have.
