We are located in Raleigh , North Carolina
- Yep that is how we feel sometimes! Our children stuck us with the name years ago when my husband and I would be out looking for marbles ( husband of course). And over the years we came across items from our childhood past, to things that we thought were bargains and others we just couldn't resist.
- Our interest has changed to focus on North Carolina items. Along with Virginia items from Clarksville and South Boston surrounding areas. Items we are looking for are North Carolina Saloon, Dispensary and Whiskey bottles. Half gallon Mineral water bottles. N.C. Hunting and fishing items , North Carolina pottery and of course Old Marbles.
