need id of Marble found at old park

[nova treasure]

Hoping someone could id this marble? I found it at an old park and thought it was some kind of bead but it doesn't have any holes. Size comparison, it's about the same size of a pea.

Thanks for any help,
Nova Treasure

Re: nedd id of Marble found at old park

Looks like a Bennington, probably late 1800's or early 1900's. They're called Benningtons because some people associated them with the pottery industry in Bennington, Vermont; however, most of them were actually imported from Germany. Most were brown or blue, but there were other colors, as well as multicolored "fancies."
