ccb420 the clay marbles are called Benningtons by collectors. Made in Germany, around 1900's (+/-). The spots are from when the glaze was fired in the kiln. -
Help with value or ID on some marbles
OP, the first jar is mostly Vitro with a few Marble Kings. The best marble (in my opinion) is the green/white/black Vitro. The other jars I wouldn't bother with. -
