AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
On offer: a truly colossal, nostalgic collection of marbles with a total net weight of no less than 9,873 grams (almost 10 kg!). This substantial lot is divided over 4 different containers and consists mostly of vintage and classic marbles, supplemented with some newer pieces.
An absolute eye-catcher within this lot is the bowl that is completely filled with enormous chunks (giant marbles). Because of the enormous quantity, the wide variety of sizes, and the presence of rarer vintage patterns, this is a dream lot for the serious collector or enthusiast of nostalgic toys.
Specifications & Weights per bowl
The collection is built from four different parts (net weight excluding bowls):
Bak 1 (Large bowl with vintage mix): A huge, colorful mix of hundreds of classic marbles in all colors and patterns. Net weight: 4,108 grams.
Bak 2 (Enormous chunks & giant marbles): A spectacular selection of XXL marbles and heavy chunks with unique textures and deep colors. Net weight: 1,399 grams.
Bak 3 (Mixed mix medium): A varied selection predominantly of medium vintage marbles, including bright Cat’s Eyes and opaque variants. Net weight: 1,342 grams.
Bak 4 (More exclusive vintage & metallic mix): A bowl with many sought-after vintage pieces, glossy oil- and metallic-layers, and special prints. Net weight: 3,024 grams.
Description of the different types in this lot
This collection offers a beautiful historical overview of different marble types:
The Enormous Chunks & Giants (XXL): Found in Bowl 2. These are the heavy 'boules' and giant marbles, including very unique specimens with a rough, stone- or lava-like texture (in deep black and black-and-white), marbles with a detailed 'globe' pattern (blue with yellow and green continents), and solid, deeply colored glass caps with internal air bubbles and swirls.
Metallic & Oil-Sheen Marbles: Gorgeous vintage marbles with a mirrored, silvery chrome finish or an iridescent oil-sheen (rainbow effect) that reflects beautifully in light.
Marbles with Comic-Strip Figures: Some rare, nostalgic collector’s marbles with an embedded cartoon/comic figure (such as a flame and other faces).
Classic Cat’s Eyes (Cat’s Eyes): The ultimate retro marble; transparent glass with inside the recognizable, elegant colored wings in vivid shades like blue, green, red and yellow.
Speckled and Tumbled Glass: Marbles with a speckled appearance (like a bird’s egg) and marbles with a matte, slightly rough 'frosted' finish.
Opaque & Swirl Marbles: Fully opaque marbles (porcelain marbles) in solid white, deep black or blue, as well as marbles with flowing two-tone marble patterns (swirls).
Condition and Details
The marbles are in good, used condition. Since this is mostly a vintage collection, the marbles bear the characteristic signs of use (such as tiny nicks or superficial scratches) typical of authentic toys from the previous century. This gives the collection its genuine nostalgic value. Please review the photo set carefully for an accurate personal impression of the enormous quantity and quality.
Note: The glass bowls are used solely for photography and precise weighing; they are not included. The marbles will, of course, be sorted per bowl, carefully packed, and shipped very securely.
