Hi!
Today I went digging underneath the house and found LOTS of marbles! It was exciting, except I know very little about marbles. Could anyone help me out with possible dates? Some look pretty new, but others look comparable to 1800s marbles I've seen in museums. I tried to make things easier with the amount of pictures...

Thanks!

the process to make the catseyes was invented in the mid 50s...the clays and benningtons are old and the machine made glass marbles machines were invented in the 20s....they predate that ...into the 1880s
