Anything of interest?

[RelicDude]

I found most of these marbles in a river bank dump. Unfortunately I don't know anything about marbles but I always pick them up when I find them. I'm curious to know if there's anything of interest here. Thanks for the help- Justin

You're into some really old stuff. Looks like mostly 1930s and older, some handmade from germany too. Condition looks rough, but closer and better pics of the pink/blue one at 4:00, blue/clear/white striped one at 10:00, the swirly blue one at 12:00 and the blue with a dark stripe at 2:00 might turn up some interesting info.

Thank you cheese here's some individual pics. And your right they are in pretty rough shape.

The first one is not showing detail to provide info for ID, but in that condition, it's pretty much worthless anyway
The second one is a handmade german latticino core swirl. Looks like the condition might not be too bad. It should have a pontil at both ends which will look like damage, but it's not. It's worth a few bucks.
The third is a West Virginia swirl of some sort, possibly a CAC (Christensen Agate Company), but more pics would be needed to tell for sure.
The fourth is a Marble King, one of the newest of the bunch. Probably 1950s or 60s.
The fifth is a pretty nice looking handmade German marble called an onionskin. It's probably the most valuable of the bunch and old.
The sixth is another West Virginia swirl but beat... probably an Alley.

Nice finds...I'd be digging there every chance I got!

Ps... I also saw a decorated china marble at the top of the pic worth a few bucks, a couple of akro corkscrews (blue and white, and red and white) and a couple of benningtons (clay ones with spots on them). The bennington with different colors and the white spots is worth a little too.

Dang,

These are not the ones I lost-

Will have to resume the search.

Nice find by the way.

You did great to find that many marbles in one site. I keep all my dug marbles in round half pint milk bottles, it looks nice on my shelf.
