Assorted Vintage Glass Marbles
A collection of 11 vintage glass marbles held in an open hand, with more visible in a white container in the background. The marbles vary in color, opacity, and translucency, suggesting diverse manufacturing origins or styles. Dominant colors include bright opaque yellow (at least 5 visible), two translucent amber/brown, one opaque white, one opaque light blue, two opaque green, one clear, and one very dark green/black translucent marble. Each marble appears to be spherical with a smooth, polished surface characteristic of glass. Wear and tear, such as small nicks, scratches, or minor abrasions, which are common for vintage marbles due to play and handling, are not clearly discernible from the image but would be expected. The uniform size of many of the yellow, blue, and green marbles suggests they might be standard 'shooter' or 'player' marbles. The clear and translucent ones may be 'cat's eyes' or similar variations, though internal designs are not visible. The general condition appears good, with no obvious major damage like cracks or chips. Given the variety and common colors, these could be from various manufacturers over time, likely dating from the mid-20th century, a popular era for marble collecting and play.
