I wouldn't ban people if they promised to be nice, and keep to the topic. Some have come to them, and just trashed people, and bickered. They mocked the idea of me telling them to keep to the topic in friendly terms, and I've had to retroactively ban many. Oh well, mimicry is the greatest form of flattery to many. I find it kind of piddly, and creepy, but I guess I could be flattered.

don't worry JD....I won't ban you even though you are a worthless cunt......

all marbles made before 1919 are handmade......two glass blowers working together could make around 50 marbles a day......however marbles were made that way for over a hundred years and all over the world.....

now the first machine to make marbles was invented in 1919......two men working together could make around 500 marbles a day, but there were only five companies in the US making them and virtually all were out of business by 1929.....the marbles made in that time period are the most valuable....

during WW2 steel was diverted to the war effort and machines were invented that could make glass ball bearings for the domestic auto market at the rate of 50,000 a day......after the war those machines were converted to make marbles......almost every marble you can find today were made after WW2 and are only worth pennies......

some of the marbles made between 1919 and 1929 sell for $50 each.....

some such as the Miller marble are so distinctive that you can identify the man who made them....
