No aggies, but about what you'd see in the late 50's.

Good score!

I would go a case of beer..

Most of those marbles are nice but not what one would think of as old. But I see a few there that I've dug up from a depth of two or three feet out here in the Mojave Desert. Probably 1930s.

Those clearies aren't supposed to have value..

Reason being that most marble companies made them by the gazillians. But three years ago here in the desert I dug up a green clearie at a depth of 5'. That night I aimed a blacklight at it and it glowed like a nuclear reactor. I tagged it made circa early 1920s because of the buried strata I was working. Was made from uranium glass with a 3% uranium oxide content. You can buy LED UV flashlights on the web for very little.
