Collecting Marbles

Ranked #2,135 in Hobbies, Games & Toys, #23,564 overall

A fun and rewarding hobby!

I love marbles.

I started collecting them when I was a kid and have a huge jar of them. I love the colors and the design. Here is some great information about marbles and marble collecting. It's a fun hobby that you can share with your kids.

The picture is from my collection.

Why I love marbles...

really I do!

My obsession with marbles started when I was about 6 years old. I was walking outside one day and came across a beautiful red and yellow swirl marble peaking out of the dirt. I immediately rescued it and declared to my mother that "I loved marbles and wanted more". A pretty simple sentiment from a 6-year-old.

Over the years I've kept up my love for marbles and added to my collection on a yearly basis. Nothing fancy, I just like to find a few that are visually appealing to me. I also like saving marbles from old games. I've often bought games like Cat's Eye just to get the marbles.

So while I'm not a die-hard collector I'm proud to say that I have over 1000 marbles in my collection...and I love them!

    Pretty Pretty Pretty! I also had a collection of marbles from childhood. There were several I remembered exactly where I first saw them. I don't know for sure what happened to that collection, but I have a new one now. There probably are some of my old marbles in the collection, but my big one is gone!

    I have a marble collection too. I love the swirl ones in opaque and clear marbles. Little works of art! Did you know you can use a button to display a marble!?
