I got these at an antique store in NJ, I don’t know anything about marbles, if anyone could help identify please, the pinkish marbles are smaller than normal ones, that’s why I put a regular one next to it for comparison.

Hello fine people of r/marbles! I am a budding kaleidoscope artist and this is my drawer of marbles. The vast majority were given to me by my mom, who found them at an antique store. The red and beige and blue and red ones on the left (top of left column and the one two down from that) are recent acquisitions from an artist, but the others were all in a grab bag. From browsing this sub I'm thinking that the ones that are really worn and have the fine stripes (bottom two cubes in the left column) are probably German? Would really appreciate any info! Thank you! Also, happy to post photos of individuals if anyone wants to see them in more detail.

Found two sea marbles in 15 minutes on a tiny island in Japan!

Currently visiting Taketomi Island in Okinawa, Japan, and found these two glass marbles in about 15 minutes of beachcombing!
Both were partially buried in little rocky pockets along the shoreline, with just a tiny bit of glass visible. They’re perfectly spherical and look like actual marbles.
I couldn’t find much online about people finding sea marbles on Taketomi, so I thought I’d share!
Anyone know how to tell whether these are old Japanese toy marbles or something else?

Hi! These marbles were my son’s godfather’s. He was young in the 30’s and lived in Texas. Any advice on them? I had posted the blue ones earlier last week and just found more so hoping for better I.d.’s

The majority of the collection was given to me by my grandmother in the 90s. That's when she gave them to me. I don't know if they're older than that. The tin is newer, like early 2000s but I believe it has old ones mixed in. I'm going to put the majority of the vintage looking colors in a jar on display. Any idea what any of these are called? Any that are valuable? I figured ask before just putting them in a jar.

Mostly silver fume with a little bit of gold. This marble started out as clear tubing. Much love.

I recently cleared out my storage unit that has a bunch of my old toys and came across these old marbles. I have no idea really how I got them when I was younger or how to tell the difference between them. My grandparents are from Luxembourg and Germany and I’m nearly certain I got them from them but who knows where they got them. Initially google image searching isn’t resulting in anything of real interest but figured I’d run by some experts before parting with them. Any ideas in what I have here? I tried to sort them out by type and size as best possible. Thank you!
