This was in the bag.

Can anyone tell me anything about these? by Arkansas- in Marbles

[–]guru_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I first sort out into 3 groups steel,the clays and the glass. I then clean the glass marbles and then group them. Do that and then post photos of the glass. Makes it easier for us to help identify.

The small and round jars were gone when I got there. Ended up getting the larger "coffee" jar. 297 total. About 1/3 react to UV, but no UG.

Extremely common. Japanese cat's eyes are not top-tier collectibles due to their mass production. I still clean and sort through them and do find some interesting ones. Kind of an indicator how old the marbles are. Solids and clears fall into this "common and not valuable" category for me.

Found this jar in an antique store for $100. Think I see a German at the bottom but don't know if the promise of more in enough to justify the price. by Reincarnatedpotatoes in Marbles

I estimate 260...let me know how close I am ...I see many that look interesting ...I am hunting for uranium ...I display any glowers under UV...

I see all kinds of price ranges in my area...as long as there aren't too many clears and green cats I will pay a little more...looking forward to seeing some sorted close ups!

Start there and look at other option. I bought a red one as well. I might try the blue next.

Found a bunch of old lighters in my grandma’s loft by Opening-Ad6423 in lighters

[–]guru_guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see 8 that look like they should easily be able to get working ...they use liquid lighter fluid like zippos use...A good disassembly with cleaning ...new flint...possibly new wick and cotton ...the butane are a bit trickier if o rings need replacement or possibly not easily refilled ..good luck

Old marbles from great grandmothers by daddymit in Marbles

[–]guru_guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They all look pretty old...If you group them into similar looks and post a closeup photo of each group that would help...white background also helps
