Both of my boys are in the boy scouts and they have been doing a program that is like a big brother thing or in this case I guess its like adopt a grandparent, anyways they came home from visiting with an elderly gentlemen they have been helping for about a month with these marbles. I asked them why they had them and my oldest sun told me "Henry said that we did such a good job helping him that we could have these, and I know how much you like old crap ma!" And hes right I do like old crap but I dont know much about marbles but they seem to look like some good ones. Any ideas or info would be great thanks.
I just got my dads old toy box and it holds marbles just like these. His marble years were 1930-34. He lost them after that.
THE ONES PICTURED TO THE LEFT ARE HAND MADE FROM THE LATE 1800'S ..THE BIG ONE IS A YELLOW LATTACINO CORE AND A COUPLE OF THE SMALLER ONES ARE ALSO WHITE LATTICINO CORE MARBLES...ABOUT 10-15$ A POP...YOU ALSO LOOK TO HAVE A COUPLE SOLID CORE MARBLES THERE THAT ARE BEAT UP....THE MARBS IN THE OTHER PICS ARE MACHINE MADE AND MAY NOT B WORTH MUCH MORE THAN A BUCK A POP

A couple of those red white and yellow corkscrew marbles might be popeyes--worth up to $20 if they're perfect. Don't totally ignore machine mades--a few can get very expensive!
