Vintage Marble Collection

[ANTIQUARIAN]

I bought this collection on Thursday from an elderly gentleman here in Ontario. I'm curious if there's anything of age or value here. I've found similar examples in farm fields where early homesites were located, but I have no idea if these marbles have any age to them or not. The last pic is the bag of 'leftover marbles' that I feel are not old.

Any and all thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dave

Morning Jorgeke,

The white plastic bag probably has 300 marbles in it.
Including everything I posted on the white towel, this collection has close to 400 marbles.

Thanks for your interest,
Dave

You have several from the 1940s and up. Nothing jumps out as rare or high dollar marbles but a nice start to a collection!

Nice. The 3 blue and white swirls (far right, first photo) are the class of the field IMO.

Nice collection! I have seen those white glass corkscrew marbles sell for 10 bucks a piece in pristine condition. Those red corkscrew marbles are beauties!
