Lot 70:
Large Assortment of Vintage and Modern Glass Marbles, Multi-Pattern Collection, Mid to Late 20th Century
Description
This extensive collection comprises approximately 500 glass marbles of varying styles and dimensions. The lot includes a diverse range of patterns such as classic cat’s-eyes, solid opaque colours, multi-coloured swirls, and clear translucent examples. Notable within the assortment are several larger “shooter” marbles, including a distinctive yellow textured sphere positioned near the centre. The collection is housed in a translucent rectangular plastic storage container and includes a single wooden six-sided die. While specific manufacturers are not individually identified, the variety suggests a mix of mid-century to modern machine-made glass examples, likely including makers such as Vitro Agate, Akro Agate, or Marble King. The materials are primarily soda-lime glass. No measurements were provided for individual pieces or the container.
Condition report:
The collection is in used condition, exhibiting typical surface wear, minor scuffing, and small \"flea bites\" or chips consistent with age and active play. The marbles are presented as an unsorted lot. The plastic storage container shows signs of use and includes an illegible adhesive label.
