- In this video we explore the marble-making history behind Mid-Atlantic Glass of West Virginia Inc.
and identify the marbles they produced.
Here we take a close look at all of the marbles Mid-Atlantic was known to make. Including their decorative glass gems / flats, decorative irridized marbles, crackled marbles and the different examples of the collectable 9-11 swirl marble run they produced for one day in September of 2001.
We also present and describe the only known Mid-Atlantic marbles packaged products related to the company. All other Mid-Atlantic marbles were either sold loose, in bulk cardboard boxes or unlabeled poly bags.
Mid-Atlantic Glass of West Virginia was founded in 1937, and was best known for hand-blown glassware and its crystal glass stemware production for decades in Ellenboro, West Virginia. The company branched into glass marbles and decorative glass gems in 1990, which were produced in mass up until it closed its doors in 2004.
Thank you Dale Simmons, David Tamulevich, Sammy Hogue, Shirley Simmons, Mike Johnson, Miranda Thompson, Linda Moore Simmons, Steve Ice, Rick See, Erik Ring, Mike Hall, Terry Hall.
🔵 In memory of Dayln M. Simmons of Pennsboro, West Virginia. Marble enthusiast and lovable soul . Sept 5 1940 - Jan 4 2023.
Stephen, you put more care and quality in your videos than almost any other you-tube videographer. Your historic shots, and old video clips show how much research you’ve done. The videos you share - all of them - are going to be of real historic value. Love your work.
Thank you Russ I appreciate it ! I try and take special care for each and every video. These are all very important topics that should be presented as well as possible.
... when this clip was released, I was watching it at the same time I was attending an estate auction! And, I walked away with ALL of the marbles!
Thanks Stephen!
Jeff that sounds like a nice haul ! I could use a score like that sometime soon for sure. Thanks for watching and chiming in !
@@stephenbahrmarblesAuction at Strum, Wisconsin by Jerry Andrews. These rural auctions attract people from all over! There'll be something like five more auctions coming from this estate! Holy cow!
Wow awesome! Yea we don’t have many of those around here , good luck on the upcoming ones!
Another great presentation. Thanks for putting this together Stephen
Thank you as always Real Time Strategy!
I have a marble book I got for Xmas last year and it talks about Mid-Atlantic. I never heard of Mid Atlantic until I got that book. I hope we meet some day. Christine Tailer is having a marble open house at her farm July 13th hope to see ya there
It’s a pretty obscure company, but they did make an awful lot of marbles. I know about Christine’s party, but I just love too far away. I’m hoping to visit West Virginia this year and I believe I will be going to the Midwest show in September. Yes it would be nice to meet! Let me know if you’re ever planning to come to the East Coast!
♥️♥️♥️🌎♥️♥️♥️ Another amazing video! Thank you so very much! 👍🏻
Thank you Sarah I appreciate it ! And thanks for the comments! 🤗🔵🔴
I would have lumped these in with jabos. New manufacturer to my knowledge so ima have to comb they and look for these . Very cool Stephen thanks for sharing
Cool Rockhound good luck on the search !
Thanks for another great video. it was very informative. I've collected a long time, but haven't heard of this company.
Right Iron Chief, Mid-Atlantic ranks as one of the more lesser known marble companies for sure, thank you for watching and chiming in! Good day!
Awesome ! Great stuff! Just to add, I have one of the promo marbles on a white base with blue that also has the name “Mike” on it 😊
Ahh Ok cool Josh ! I think I saw a red one on eBay like that. I wonder if it was for Mike Hall from Mid-Atlantic. I don’t know 🤷♂️
@@stephenbahrmarbles I don’t either, I Was wondering if they made them or if they had them made
I don’t think they tried anything over 5/8 at Mid-Atlantic but I’m not 💯 sure.
Love all your videos thank you ❤😊
Thanks Cindy I appreciate it ! 🔵🙂
hey stephen, welcome back. opal glass is called " alacite" the old recipe would fluoresce as it was u v / vaseline but ww2 came and the formula was altered. thought you'd enjoy the history. roger
Ah cool Roger, thanks for the information! I’ll have to look up Alacite, would that be the same type of glass that was used in Akro Moonies ?
@@stephenbahrmarbles yes, i think so, al;so fenton used it in their hob nob pieces, and alladin used it in their glass lamp finials, just remember non u v glass reactive was used during ww2 that was when the ingredients changed for supply reasons. oh in russia, slov - tec used uranium in their radio tubes , they " thought" it would aid in amplification of power ( electric guitar players with tube amps loved the old tubes ) i believe the amplification was not a real issue, more in their minds.
Remember buying larger group of Mid-Atlantic 911 run...kept small jar of them but gifted and sold some to small lots to other collectors. Ron told me to hang on to because not many made. Seem to recall a small re-bag of some of these marbles may have been sold after 911 atnone of Sisterville shows.
I would love to see what those bags looked like!
I bought some bags of 9/11 marbles from Ron Shepherd's collection
Nice score Sarah! I’m sure he explained how hard they are to find!
PLEASE MORE HUMMINGBIRD UPDATES
Ok , I’ve been filming them. I will get to it ✅
This video just needs a Mid-Atlantic accent voiceover to complete it! Hehe.
😂 I was thinking about that but I don’t think I can pull off that accent, I thought it was called “Trans-Atlantic” pretty cool!
Never even heard of it
Not really known for their marble making, but they made millions!
Maybe I'm not remembering my US geography very well, but WV isn't ON the Atlantic, is it?
😂 I will say this: from my experience, Ellenboro WV is an 8-9 hour drive from the New Jersey shore.
2 years 😂
