I found a few marbles this year while creek walking for arrowheads and just curious as to who made them and how old they might be. Marbles are always a nice little bonus find when I come across them, but boy howdy it is hard identifying the little buggers. I appreciate any info, TIA🤘

Hello HH,

The green/yellow/blue one is a Marble King, 1950s-60s. The large clear one is a railroad track marble (industrial marble) used to make insulation and other things from. The others need pics showing more of the marble angles to be able to ID them.

Nice looking marbles by my untrained eye. Hope you can get better pics so cheese can ID them for you.

These things are tough to photograph!

Yeah marbles can be tough to photograph, often the camera tries to focus on the background instead of the marble. The red/white one looks like it might be a CAC swirl. 1930s. The blue/white one is tough, I'm not sure who made it. Possibly Cairo novelty, 1940s.

My guess on dating is 40’s to early 50’s. Nothing crazy old
