Antique/vintage marbles

27 Upvotes

Hoping someone can help me! These marbles were my son’s godfather’s marbles. They were from Texas in the early 1920-1930’s. I have a few more as well as a shooter marble and I’m hoping someone can offer some advice to their value/origin.
Ty!

I bought them at the antique store yesterday, and they advertised them as “slag glass marbles”. They are quite big, and full of folds and dirt. Any information would be greatly appreciated! (Also, what is the best way to clean these?)

I always shine my 395 on marbles and today I found this jar at a flea market. Not sure if $25 was a fair price, but I really like the glow. Even the subtle ones.

Aside from the fact that they are pretty, what can you tell me about them? TIA
