I appreciate your time you put into all your videos. This was a great video for me because it just helped me identify a pile I had no idea what they were! Again, thank you Mr. Bahr
Stephen Your the best! Ive been collecting marbles for a few months now, going to flea markets looking for some Vitro, and cat eyes and handmade Germans! thank you for your videos. they really do teach me what to look for.
Thanks so much Stephen for another fantastic video. Your videos are so incredibly helpful in identifying marbles. But I think my brains are scrambled now! I would have gotten one of those Veligglass marbles and sworn it was an Alley. Ugh! More research to do. . .
Well done and definitely worth the wait! Great focus on the variety of European wire pull. The comparison to American mades, the similarities and the differences, nicely done. Your a credit too the community, Stephen. Thank you for your time taken in the research and work putting this Series 1 video together!
Another good topic would be transitional marbles, Leighton, Navarre, Japanese transitionals etc. Great video. I’ve only come across one for sure veiligglas opaque in all my years collecting here in PA. They’re extremely rare outside of Western Europe. Heck, even the wire pulls aren’t too common here in the states to come across in a jar.
Thank you so much for all of your videos. I am a long time collector . I'm hoping to start going to some shows. I've got some good marbles and think we could fill in some small holes in each others collections.
I grew up in Germany and in the mid 70’s we played marbles daily, the wire pulls we commonly called them spaghetti’s and we hated playing with them because they would shatter easily, fyi, My dad was a soldier in the army and he was stationed in Germany,
You know when a video is good , when at the end your surprised it's all ready over. You lose track of time ! Super Job once again . Good luck and health to you ✌️😎
hey, thanks for this video, i am a new collector the netherlands and i am looking for these, do you have plans to do any more videos on european marbles?
Yes hidderg , there’s still much more to cover. We cover the European Slag types in the “How To Identity Slag Marbles” video, but I have been meaning to get to the European Sparkler types. Hopefully soon.
@@stephenbahrmarbles that would be great! i have seen that slag video, and it would be great to have a video about sparklers, and maybe also whisplers. i look forward to it!
Hi Stephen Bahr , great post love the european type . now i believe i found a Winnie Goddijin type 11/16 th in a batch from germany mint condition no pops as made . so are they mostly blue,light blue orange yellow white base running in every direction ? and are they worth a bit more to a collector?
@@stephenbahrmarbles probably I always envisioned they were called that because they used a wire and literally pulled the color through the marble, but that for sure isn’t right.
Great job Stephen so glad to see a new video....one question is there a big difference between caged cat eyes and wier pull sorry if this seem like a stupid question?
Some awesome marbles I keep forgetting how German marbles are hand blown and not machine made like the West Virginia marbles or these and a lot of the others
Hi Stephen I have a mineral collection of mineral natural spheres with more than 700 pieces from meteorites to dinosaur bone , petrified wood , coprolites , agates, Otolites, quartz, human molar, human bladder stone , marine corals, billiard very old balls, a very old golf ball , lava, mount st. Hellen lava, Vesuvian lava, ruby, emerald, zaphire martix spheres, etc etc etc etc , you name it. I got across these interesting and lovely looking marbles in your video and I think I need two of the transparent base ones as a complement to my collection that has took me 17 years to grow . Do you have a couple inexpensive ones , I’m in mexico and I obviously pay shipping to Texas USA . These marbles are not exactly mineral natural but they are spheres!!! Hahaha I didn’t even know they exist until this moment I saw your video . I was browsing eBay but the larger size ( the ones I’m interested ) are much expensive as one may think for a marble . Thank you for your reading time , Sincerely , Fernando . 73 years old enthusiast fiend in Mexico
Hi Fernando and thank you for your story! Yes I can send you something in the mail. Please email me at : sbahr@scarletknights.com and we can get it done through the emails. Thank you !
Hahah, no I'm afraid you didn't say that correctly, nor did you spell it correctly. It's written as "Veiligglas", so that's an extra i, and one less s. :) The letters 'ei' are pronounced as a single sound that resembles the use of the letter i in English words like Nice or Fine. So, instead of calling them "Vely's" you should actually call them "Vily's" (As if it were an inflection of the word Vile), and that would be spelled as "Veily's". Sorry, I couldn't resist as a Dutchman. :) Great video btw. I'm not into marble collecting, but it's amazing to see all these small globes of art. Also, it's fun to spot the marbles that I used to play with as a kid The Netherlands. Amazingly we seemed to have a lot of Japanese cat eyes here. (As I learned from another video of yours).
@@stephenbahrmarbles Hahah Your German translator got close! Dutch just happens to be one of the toughest languages to pronounce correctly. Don't fire him yet! If you need any info on anything Dutch, I'd be happy to help if I can. Maybe you need other things translated, or something dug up from a Dutch website. If you just reply to this topic again, it'll pop up for me.
You would think that these marbles being made of vehicle windshield glass that they would be super strong and durable. Because that's what vehicle glass was developed for.
I appreciate your time you put into all your videos. This was a great video for me because it just helped me identify a pile I had no idea what they were!
Again, thank you Mr. Bahr
Awesome my friend! Love the way you've categorized the Swirl types. Fabulous for collectors old and new! ~ Alyssa

I found a nice blue and white wire pull the other day , thanks for the information
Oooh 3 colors nice find ! Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

I hope he does a video of the German hand made swirls

Beautiful marbles, some are stunning!

Very cool story Giventofly ! The quality of that clear glass on those Wirepulls does seem a little cheaper than most vintage marbles.
Same here in the UK , "spaghetti" 👍
@@declassified1 In the Netherlands also...

I’ve never actually found a good answer, but why are they called wire pulls?
@@stephenbahrmarbles probably I always envisioned they were called that because they used a wire and literally pulled the color through the marble, but that for sure isn’t right.
Great job Stephen so glad to see a new video....one question is there a big difference between caged cat eyes and wier pull sorry if this seem like a stupid question?
Very nice Euro marbles. Enjoyed the video Steve! Are you planning on doing an Alley video in the future?
@@stephenbahrmarbles That's great. Looking forward to learning more about marbles, I've been finding some in the 30's-40s dump I'm digging
Excelente video, espero con ansias uno sobre canicas Alemanas 😁

Yes the old Germans are a different animal for sure.

Thank you Stephen I’ll contact you on Monday since I’m not in my office until then . Thank you much for taking your time to awnser me
Ok ✅ you’re welcome, sounds good. Have a great weekend!
what year(s) where the wirepulls made ? (sorry if you have already answered in video)
Hi Ricci , I believe they are post WW2 , 1950’s -60’s
These are pocket mibbies like ya read about. EDC if you know what i mean 🔥
Yes during the Blitzkrieg of England census records were lost
Is there anyway I can send you a picture of a few very strange looking marbles
Hi Wanda, yes send focused, well-lit photos to sbahr@scarletknights.com
Hahah, no I'm afraid you didn't say that correctly, nor did you spell it correctly. It's written as "Veiligglas", so that's an extra i, and one less s. :)

Thanks for the pronunciation tips Bushdoctor. My feathered translator is from Frankfurt, Germany. Perhaps his dialect was a little too far off ?

Veilig in dutch means 'safe' and glas is obviously 'glass'. So 'safe glass' -> 'safety glass'.
Yes thank you OMT ! That makes perfect sense.
Haha I should have watched the whole video be I commented.
No, it is Veiligglas. With an i and one s.
Ok thank you Michael ! I will change the spelling
You would think that these marbles being made of vehicle windshield glass that they would be super strong and durable. Because that's what vehicle glass was developed for.
That does make sense, but the waste window glass was re-melted for marbles so that will effect their durability I would think.
