best site online to learn about vintage marbles? [View all]

I was at the little thrift shop nearby when they were sorting some fresh stuff. Bought an old big bag of marbles. Now I need to educate myself.

Also bought a 1950s train set for a buck. Pieces of track, six cars with a windup engine. O gauge. I ought to make a little money on it, but probably not a lot.

The best buy was two cool vintage tablecloths that ought to bring me twenty times my investment in them. If I don't decide to keep them for my stash. Heh. That's what usually happens.
