Hi again, I'm too curious to know please if there are any old or rare marbles in there. I bought a old bear shape peanut butter jar 2/3 full of marbles from someone I know. She was relentless to sell, she told me they belonged to her grandad. Told her she could always buy them back if she ever change her mind after. So I gave her 10$ I think for the jar. Discard the 2 green piles (one in a bag) on the left, think the wife added them in the jar but they were not from the sale.

How old is this person? If they belonged to a grandparent, the grandparent either wasn't very old or they just had some new marbles for one reason or another. My mom is nearly 70 and still buys marbles, so anything is possible. Those appear to be mostly chinese marbles inported by Mega and possibly some Japanese cateyes and maybe some mexican Vacors. In the row with the yellow and black one there appear to be a few older ones maybe from the US.

She's about 35 I think but she added some in the jar over time, and my wife too. So I dont know which one are older lol. Well, it was a fun day anyway. Thanks for reading!
