player ready...While digging up foundations of old homes, Chicago contractor Christopher Robinson says he has discovered a slew of old marbles and became an avid collector. But, when he realized it wasn’t easy to locate antique or unusual marbles, he became a contemporary glass marble artist.
Robinson will join a host of marble aficionados July 17 at the Windy City Marble Show, where antique and new marbles will be the star attraction. Collectors and browsers also will be able to take advantage of free appraisals and marble polishing services and purchasing marble-related items like games and books.
Thirty dealers will be selling or trading an array of marbles, including chalkies, Chinas, clearies, custards, glimmers and bananas.
Marbles will range from $1 to $1,000.
The show will be in O’Hare Plaza Hotel 5617 N. Cumberland Ave. Hours: 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Cost is $2; children under 12 admitted free. For more information, call show organizer Bob Frede at 312 631-6856.
