    Have you lost your marbles?

    If you are not already sorted.....also check out The Art and Hobby Shop. Great place for getting old fashioned stocking fillers like marbles!
    They have 2 places in town!

    Thanks for you're replies, guys. Art and hobby shop search yields no results. The other shops, I was at one or two of them and they only have regular small marbles (oneseys). I am looking for something a little better and bigger.

    Some of these are huge and lovely design.. :)

    Example

    I think they are used in aquariums/fireplaces etc a lot...

    There is no product that matches the search criteria. :(

    Is Hector Grey's still open in Dublin? If they are then surely they would have marbles.

    Alternatively Smyth's toys sell these. There appear to be Gollies in there as well as onesies but it's hard to see what exactly is there.

    Only last weekend, in my local Toymaster here in England, I was looking at bags of candies, crystals and mixed bullseye's too, brought back some very happy memories :)

    They also say on their website that only a small amount of their stock is online so I'd suggest you call them

    I reckon I'll just get some off ebay if need be. Thanks for all you help. :)
