<p>[QUOTE="Lark, post: 6142231, member: 13605"]I read somewhere that The "dime stores" used to sell bags of clay that you mixed with water to make your own marbles. That would have been for the poor people. They are not worth anything. Even the glazed ones have fallen in value. I collect the PeeWees. I have probably two gallons of marbles i need to go through still. Even with a good book it can be confusing. Some of them belonged to my uncle who died in his 90's almost ten years ago so they are close to antique and the others are my husbands who was the marble champ of the neighborhood back when you got to keep the marbles you knocked out. All of the boys were playing with their father's marbles it would seem based on the age of his winnings.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
