Description

The listing, Very old marbles has ended.

I have a dozen, very old, clay marbles. Before glass marbles became common, antique marbles were made from ceramics, including clay and stoneware. These were first made in America in 1884. Prior to this they were imported from Germany. I had these looked at by a marble guy friend and he confirmed they were German.

Questions & Comments

I'd love to see a picture before I bid!

They kind of look like this photo I found but none of mine are very colorful. Kind of cement gray type of color. Maybe that makes them older, I don't know.

Can you send me a photo if I give you my email? What colors? All one size or mixed?
