clarksburgh?? rt 50 is the heart of marble county....i cant be specific on years ill say 30s to 70s...most companies made those swirls and i would hafta study the base color and other traits to nail it down..the way the blue color trails the white points me toward champion...

Thanks duffytrash, for the Help..

Do marbles vary in value by color, age?
Only thing I know about marbles..They make good ammo for my slingshot..

**duffytrash** · Jul 06, 2011, 04:52 AM

value in marbles are by company-rarity-color-condition....the age is a factor but a marble made in the 50s could be worth more than a mib made in the 20s...eye appeal is where its at,too....a pretty marble while not the rarest has a leg up on an ugly marble thats hard to find...back in the day those companies made millions of marbles a day...theres a lot more dollar marbles than 10$ examples...some companies made the same style of marbles for decades so age does not matter so much...most collectible marbles were made before the 50s anyway..after that companies concentrated on cateyes and cheaper versions

Marble looks like a weirded up Peltier. That color combo with that base along with the pseudo Oxblood.

I kinda thought this was a little rare, cause all the new ones I buy for slingshot ammo, Are mostly clear with designs in the middle of them...This has the colors on the outside, Which caught my attention....I just have no clue on it...Is their a website that might have something close to this to get a closer idea to its rarity... Thanks for the Help...

Pic 3 looks like an attempt at a seam and ribbons. Colors and Ox are dead on. Here are some pics of some peltiers. I use a lot of flash and sun so they are bright. Notice the thin line of oxblood in the one. These types came in Ribbons and Swirls.
