Marble Experts

Bought a box of Marbles at an estate sale. They appear to be older marbles for the most part, but I am not a Marbleologist. If any of you are knowledgeable of marbles and their value, drop me a PM and I will send you some photos, if you think you can help me out.

Guess I should have opened my eyes wider. Did not know there was a Marble Board.

my eyes are opened too thanks
I also bought a small box of marbles a few weeks ago just because they didn't look cheap.

I am far from an expert on the subject but here is what I learned after buying some marbles and then taking a loss:

Cateye marbles have almost no value. These are clear with a taffy milky looking blob in the middle and they look somewhat like cat's eyes or goat's eyes. Most that are this style were made in china and somewhat recently. Thankfully, although there was virtually zero collector value in the large jar of cateye marbles I bought, they were very easy to sell in smaller lots at the flea market.
