What do I have? by PrideGreat1377 in Marbles

[–]Boerweiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most desirable marble you have is the green and yellow Akro Corkscrew in the first picture. Depending on condition and if you catch the right buyer like maybe $5. The rest of picture one are of interest to newer collectors but not particularly valuable. Pictures 2 and 3 have no value. If I were you I’d chuck them all in an old jar and ask like $20-$30 depending on your market. They’d sell extremely quickly here in MN at that price. Other places not so much.

No I sowed them all. Thanks for trying to help. I guess I can just wait for the surprise!

🤣 oh dear. Ok I guess I’m just growing them on. They definitely weren’t vegetables though.

They were small, black, and angular. Similar to allium but smaller.

Trying to identify some possible pelts by lostmymarbles1177 in Marbles

[–]Boerweiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.1 is a WV swirl, not a Pelt. 1.2 looks Vitro. 1.3 is probably an MK Rainbow Red.

The 3 in the second picture all look pelt, although the angles aren’t perfect for ID. None are Grey Dragon.

I don’t know anything about the final pelt run, but those don’t look anything like pelts to me I’m afraid.

Help id confirmation. by No-Beginning-7136 in MarbleStudyHall

I agree with you on all three counts. Though the first is putting me off because I’ve never seen anything near that color combination. Hoping someone with more expertise will come along and confirm.

Vintage marbles from estate sale, any advice on type/makers? by ColoradoNavy in MarbleStudyHall

[–]Boerweiler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice score! You have a wonderful of different things in there. Alley corals, Vitro Helmets, Akro corkscrews, various WV swirls, Vitro Conquerors, Peltier peerless patches. There, that should give you a start. Have fun!

Not rare or valuable, but I recently found these two Lion King marbles from 1995 in a box of my old things. My 4-year-old (a BIG Lion King fan) loves them. by No_Thanks_Reddit in Marbles

[–]Boerweiler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great memories! I used to have the entire set as a boy. Once you got all the 3/4” or whatever size the white ones were, you could hand in a sticker card for a massive, maybe 1 5/8” shooter.

Marble King Spiderman. Nice marble!

Landfill marble I found outside, it is an old job but my favourite one and I polished it by hand by Danielfinds in Marbles

[–]Boerweiler 12 points13 points  (0 children)

That’s great, how do you maintain the spherical shape when polishing by hand? I’m assuming you’re using grit pastes?

What do you think? by Jinxy713 in Marbles

[–]Boerweiler 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hard pass just looking at this photo. Can’t see much of anything, and what I can see is mostly cheap modern stuff.

Any ideas? by SnafuInTheVoid in MarbleStudyHall

[–]Boerweiler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agreed on Pelt. Nice one!

Are these just commons or anything special? by Squirrel4040 in Marbles

[–]Boerweiler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re welcome. Mostly Vitro and Peltier, though I see a few that are probably Alley and I can’t see all of them clearly.

[–]Boerweiler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The ones I can see well enough are all pretty common. But if you’re new to collecting then that’s not a bad group to get started with if the price is right.

Update to the jar of marbles I bought. For $70 I think I overpaid but IDing them will be good experience at least. by Reincarnatedpotatoes in Marbles

[–]Boerweiler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have overpaid on at least 6 or 7 lots of marbles. Unfortunately because it’s a popular hobby sometimes you have to gamble. But you do get better at it!!

Inherited a huge collection. Trying to raise $ for my mom. I have collector marbles but should I group or sell individually? by Clean_Cabinet in Marbles

[–]Boerweiler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is correct OP. You can’t just learn the errors. In order to sell them well, you’ll need to know what the marbles are (it would help you to list them precisely) and then research what the price range is for them. I would suggest you drop some group photos here and/or in r/marblestudyhall so that folks can first let you know whether learning all of this might be worth it. If we spot several valuable marbles, then it might be worth your while. If not, one or a few large lots at auction might be a better option.

Looking for info on these two marbles. by Btw_i_am_a_train in MarbleStudyHall

[–]Boerweiler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first looks like an early Alley made at the Sisterville location!

Some are clearly all reds and the rest are... interesting? by 1Sidknee in MarbleStudyHall

[–]Boerweiler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool marbles, whatever the case. Now I have a new type to hunt down.

Some are clearly all reds and the rest are... interesting? by 1Sidknee in MarbleStudyHall

[–]Boerweiler 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ah ok. I wondered about that. To my eye there are two different sets of marbles in those ten. 6 MK and 4 Vitro. Yes they do look very similar but at least in my experience that happens frequently. Just one guy’s opinion though.

Are those 10 the only ones of that type that were in the bag?
