Everybody loves them ....

Everybody has some ....

Here are some of mine!

My Hand Cast in Glass!

 

Old marbles in a Blenko Glass Water Jar.

Bowl of Marbles.

 

Old marbles in a dish surrounded by some of my handmade marbles.

Some of the marbles, in the dish, belonged to my father when he was a boy. I found them in this old Avon Dusting Powder tin, along with other treasures that a young boy would collect. The tin was sitting up on the foundation in the basement of my grandfather's house. The same house that my dad grew up in from about age five and that my wife and I rented from one of my brothers when we were first married. Some of the marbles were pretty beat up. No doubt from many a heated marble match. I am thrilled to have a part of my father's childhood in my marble collection!

 

 

The LARGEST marble I ever made - 4" diameter!

 

 

Angel's favorite marble.
