5.0 out of 5 stars Antique & Collectible Marbles, March 23, 2000

MBlair (Smokey Mountains) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Antique and Collectible Marbles: Identification & Values (Paperback)

This book IS marble collecting made easy. It's easy to understand with very clear pictures and text. The pictures are fantastic. I had picked up some old marbles in an auction boxlot and this book really made it possible for me to identify the valuable ones. It has to be the LEAST dry and boring antique reference book I've ever found. I highly recommend it!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not great for identification., January 23, 2005

S. Payette - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Antique and Collectible Marbles: Identification & Values (Paperback)

This book has beautiful pictures and is a nice introduction into marble collecting. However, it is not very helpful in identifying your marbles. There are pictures of different manufacture's marbles but enough information to teach you how to tell them apart yourself.

G. Boettjer "Marble nuts" (Sunny Florida) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Antique and Collectible Marbles: Identification & Values (Paperback)

This is an excellent referance book for early hand made German and American marbles. It is well illistrated and easy to follow. It is not meant for marbles manufactured after the late 1920's. A must have for marble collectors.
