    Those are pretty..

    Looks like they span 1940s,50s and perhaps 60s. Someone who lived in your house loved marbles. Was it you?

    there is a nice green and red corkscrew.. if it has no chips or scratches..should be worth at least a 20 spot!

    they've pretty much all got scratches and dings on them I'll try to put up some pics, but my camera is in the middle of a personality crisis, and won't work until I buy it a new memory card.
