Description
This colorful jar of mixed vintage marbles sits inside a repurposed glass canister topped with a brown ribbed lid fitted with two chrome telescoping antennas and a long brown coiled antenna cable with clip connector -- a truly one-of-a-kind display piece that doubles as a conversation starter. The marbles inside are a vibrant mix of cat-eye, swirl, and shooter styles in every color of the rainbow, and the whole contraption is bizarre in the best possible way.
This clear acrylic display box is tagged with a handwritten price label reading Item 130, $8.00, Cat-Eye Marbles, Stock Number Clear Box. It holds a generous collection of classic cat-eye marbles in a wide range of colors including blue, green, yellow, red, and orange -- the kind of marbles that defined childhood playgrounds for decades.
This smaller vintage bail-top glass canning jar, embossed with what appears to be an Atlas or similar mark, holds a lovely assortment of green, blue, and teal transparent glass marbles that catch the light beautifully. The wire bail closure and glass lid are intact and functional, adding authentic antique charm to the presentation.
This larger vintage bail-top glass canning jar is packed to the brim with a substantial collection of deep blue, green, and teal glass marbles, likely cat-eye and solid glass varieties. The wire bail hardware shows appropriate age patina, and the embossed lettering on the jar reads consistent with vintage Ball or Atlas canning jar markings, making this a striking and substantial display piece right out of the box.
