The marbles listed for auction all came from the estate of a gentleman who was an avid collector for most of his life. The marbles pictured were all kept in small gun cases as shown in the pictures provided. I am not an expert or a grader of marbles and hopefully my pictures will provide you with enough details to make any bidding decision. Some of the cases were named ie. German Lutz, Contemporary, Laticcino, Vitro Agates...etc and also had I presume his own grading standar...ds from Mint to Near Mint. There are definitely no chipped or damaged marbles in this collection. This weeks auctions all came from a case marked Mint. As I said previously I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to this type of collectible and stand to be corrected on my listings by the experts out there that know this field better than I do. This was a large collection and all sales and future sales will be going to the gentlemans widow towards final expenses. Please ask any questions you may have or if you require additional pictures before the auction ends. I am happy to combine shipping and will ship Internationally via first class mail. If insurance is required please make this known at the end of the auction if you are the winning bidder. Thank You for taking the time to view these auctions.
