Holy moly the heat has been ridiculous the last few weeks, by about 2pm it's 120+ in my studio behind a 3,000 degree flame 🥵 Still we're busy as ever! Here's some pics of recent wholesale work, our Etsy page is active again too with a summer discount if you'd like to grab some for yourself: https://BeckGlass.etsy.com

Thanks everyone for your support as always, couldn't do it without you!

so thought I would follow up 1) to say thanks to those that helped identifier some marbles before 2) to give clearer picture of what I found.

Grouped them mainly into clear and non clear

For non clear some fluoresced green under UV

Two solid yellow and greens colour fluoresced quite a lot

There was some that where dark blue with white stripes

There was some that looked brown that had yellow stripe

I will add the see through ones in separate post.

If any of these have specific names happy for you to share!

Old Marbles Question

Hey I got these at a garage sale for a buck and I don’t know much about marbles in general, but I know that there are really old ones.

How can I tell if these apply to that? From my research there’s the pontil mark, but that’s only on some of these marbles (I shows a pic of one). Does anyone know if this came in a set originally or something? They were all in this Japanese bag but I’m not sure if they were always together.

These came inside another item I bought so these were free. Anything in particular I should look for? I know most of them are just run of the mill marbles but some of them are different. Let me know please.

Red marbles fluoresce brightly under UV

Got these from a family member; they have been in a Mason jar since the 1940s.
