Terrific information and great specimens you don’t see in any old Flea Market . No doubt that collection took decades to put together. Thanks for the upload Shane, that End of day Indian is outstanding!
Thanks for commenting. Happy to share. Sad to let it collect dust and not share it with the world that enjoys this stuff. Guys like you and rocks Cousteau encouraged me to put some TH-cam videos up. If nothing else to document this stuff for the world 🌎✌️
Thankyou Shane! A marble collection is one of those things that sounds boring - but it's all about the visual impact... and in this case, the never-to-be-repeated history... as you say, we are all being replaced with machines. Including those of us who make the machines. I guess that's fair payback 😕 The video quality is excellent - no need to apologize! Thanks again - from New Zealand (I recognized a few of your marbles from my childhood collection... I would imagine most of the ones we saw here in the 50's/60's were Asian... Hong Kong and Japan probably... but possibly some good American and British marbles made it down here).
Thanks for your time and comment. So glad you found my video. Awesome I can share this collection with the world. Made my morning reading your comment.🍻✌️ It definitely seems like a sin to leave these hidden away in a drawer and not share them with those who are interested.
The pros can polish around the pontil marks. It takes a lot more time & effort and will cost you more when purchasing one, but it's a thousand times better than butchering a marble and leaving a clear portion of glass where the pontil once was. I like the German swirls and the "Benningtons" that they made. Good Benningtons have gotten hot in the last 10 years.
This is good information for marble hunters. Sometimes people find old marbles in jars at thrift stores or garage sales. The modern marbles are also nice.
Thanks for watching and for your time. Hope this helps you identify some thrift store scores in the future. I hunt Marbles every weekend at flea markets and antique shows. Anyting in the original packaging that's old is rarer than dinosaur teeth. Good luck hunting.
I appreciate your response. I like to shine a strong light through them they are little works of art. A light box would probably show the detail better. Some of them glow under black light.
@@danacarter9147 awesome sauce So happy to share this collection with people who enjoy looking. It almost seems like a sin to leave it locked away in a drawer all covered with dust.
Lot of great info here...t.y. for the video ! Just picked up an elderly man's collection at his estate sale, roughly 2,500 to 3,000 and 95% look just like these you're displaying. Can't wait to go through all these, happy holiday.
I've been buying and selling marbles for about 8 years now. I'm not a collector, I just flip them, very good return on investment and they are beautiful, everyone loves marbles.
I just started collecting the German made ones and the very first one I found was at a flea market and it was a huge baseball size one, a little over 2.5 inches. I look forward to more videos, really trying to learn as much as I can about them.
Thanks for the video! I resonantly was cleaning out my mom/dad’s old house as they have recently moved on and found a bag and some jars of my brothers old marbles that he played with as a kid. That would probably be in the early ‘60’s. I’ve since but them in a nice display jar because I just love the colors of them and remind me of him. The types I may have, I don’t have a clue. Didn’t even realize that there was a thing as marble collecting. I shouldn’t have been surprised because just about everything to someone is a collectible. But thanks to your video, maybe I can start to sort out some of what I have by taking a closer look. Thanks so much for your video!
Family Treasure 😀 every marble collectors dream to find an old bag of marbles in an old attic full of stuff. Glad you found my video useful thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment.
Hi. I realize this video was posted a while ago but I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed it. I'm just now getting into marbles at 47 years old. My father passed away and left me his collection. I never thought much of them until I really started researching them and studying the history. I have to admit being hooked almost instantly. Never expected that. Anyway... love your videos. I find them much easier to follow than some of the more technical stuff out there. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much for the kind words and support welcome aboard and thanks for subscribing I will do my best to keep you entertained and pass on any knowledge or tips I may have I'm no expert I mess up every now and then I'm just a collector doing the best I can🍻
Stephen Bahr also puts out some awesome videos it's a lot to take in and I usually never can make it all the way through one but check him out if you really want the experts marble content.
I have my father & grandfather's marbles from childhood. My grandfather was born in 1868 & my father in 1926 so they're all very old. I just recently found out how collectible they are.
That's really awesome. At the end of the day our most valued treasures are the ones with the best stories and connection to our heritage. Thanks for taking the time to watch my video and leave a comment ✌️
New sub,..nice upload.. I've been checking your catalog out...good stuff. Appreciate the knowledge..the world's cane ,very good on that 👍unreal ...agree with the polishing marbles..keep on keeping on
I have a lot of marble videos posted. Please subscribe if you haven't already. I will be going to the Indianapolis show and posting some new footage soon 😁
Me too I love marbles because when I was younger my collection was small but then many years later my collection became bigger and bigger so huge that kept going and then my marble collection just stopped for now 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Hi loved your video I am in Italy and I just bough a bunch of marbles so I'm trying to learn as much as I can the most marbles that I have are green or blue when you hold to the light but they have a silver or copper shiny film on them, what are they?I didnt see any on your videos but I assume they are super common
Those could possibly be lounge chair marbles😮 I just posted a video this morning. Check it out and see if it is helpful for you. My neighbor in Daytona Beach was from matera Italy. He used to bring us these awesome bakery pretzels with caraway seeds in them from Italy. Much different than American pretzels but the best pretzels I've ever had in my life. He was also one of my best friend n neighbor .🥂
@@shaneapplegate1975 thank you so much I will check your video out, yeah out pretzels are a little different than the U.S just like our pizza. I am glad you liked it if you ever come this way let me know I'm always open to new friends.
Awesome collection, thanks for sharing! I recently got some marbles and they look wet mint. Are there other factors to tell if they have been buffed other than just looking really new?
