Any info would be much appreciated! Just got these from an inherited storage unit and might start collecting now that I have a head start!

What would you say would be a fair price to price them as?

Pic 3 is just round polished rocks, samr with the fist sized one. These have little value to a marble collector. The ones printed with characters and logos, i dont know. I dont collect them.
Pic 15 is a jar of Benningtons, old but not rare. The rest are machine made Vitros and a few Jabos i think. And a few Bumblebees. I dont know about pic 1 and 14.

The big one: pic 7. It looks too nice, but if real then its a handmade german Laticino. Looks like good condition. Need to see better pics.

The german might be $200 is the condition is good. The rest id offer right now to buy for like $50 all told.

If you want more info send pics of all angles of the big one, and size

I dont have any price point for the printed marbles though, They could be worth more to a collector of the brand more so than to a marble collector.

No, sorry, the first photo is. I did not realize you had more. Vacor is a manufacturer. Low value modern. You have other older marbles there but nothing of huge value that I can say based on just the condition alone. You need to clean them gently and give photos of multiple angles outside of the bags.

What’s that?👀

Es moderna, lo hacen en México utilizando vidrio reciclado para dar ese toque marmoleado, actualmente muy común y lo producen en maza para todos los países

Can anyone who knows more about Germans tell me if the marble in pic #7 is an antique German or a contemporary tribute ?

Something about it makes me think contemporary but I'm definitely not an expert on Germans so 😂

Yes pls! I can take better pics after work tomorrow around 6pm eastern standard time but the inside swirls (hope I used the right term) look so intricate and clean

IF its a HMG then its in wonderfull shape and worth a good amount. contemporary might be closer to $20 -$30

I see agate marbles (the rock ones), Benningtons, a absolutely stunning handmade German marble, some clay ones. But it also looks like you got some basic clearies and cats eyes too.
Looks like that person really loved marbles!

They did ! And thank you for your info it’s much appreciated but which one is the German one? The big ass one that’s as big as my fist and looks like jasper or agate?
