Marble Auction July 23rd in Cambridge, OH

This July 23rd there will be a great marble auction in Cambridge, Ohio. With 300+ lots to choose from the variety looks fantastic and there is something for everything.

Apparently most of these are in mint condition so if you're lucky to live near the heart of America's marble country, don't miss out on this opportunity.

Be sure to download the DOC listing of the lots because the pictures are just a sampling.

Check out the AuctionZip listing for more details.

Transparent Marble Show Off Trays

If you want a safe and snug place to store and show off your marbles at the same time, I recommend these transparent marble show off trays.

When I get a new batch of marbles, I spread out several of these to use for the initial sorting. I also use them for long-term storage.

Each has 35 pockets to safely store 5/8" - 3/4" marbles, and each has a slide-on see-through cover to hold them in place snugly. You can squeeze 7/8" marbles in these too.

Besides being small and light, these trays are transparent which allows the light come in from all angles. Marbles look better in these trays and you can safely "rattle" them around, allowing the marbles to roll side-to-side for better viewing angles.

You can pick them up over at Land of Marbles. I wish they were cheaper, but if you buy in larger quantities the price drops.

Another Big Marble Auction May 21st

Morphy Auctions will be holding yet another impressive marble auction May 21st.  396 lots will be available to bidders online and in-person. As always, their online catalog images are top notch and should not to be missed by anyone interested in marbles.

The bulk of the marbles are vintage handmades, such as this Navarre Horizontal Swirl and this Green Glass Rearing Horse Sulphide which is estimated to bring $5,000 or more. Machine made marble collectors will find plenty of temptation from lots such as this original box of Christensen World's Best Guinea Marbles (if you have around $10,000 or more to spare) and a delicious looking Christensen Red Devil marble.

Besides these gems are quite a few contemporary handmade marbles as well as vintage marble packaging and memorabilia.

If you can't be in Denver, PA to bid on these, don't forget that you can bid online. Good luck!
