That's a very nice group. The one clay marble I think I spotted is probably the oldest. The ones with clear glass and internal swirls from what I remember cost more. There are some nice books on marbles available, I'd try getting one but for now, you could look on Ebay for vintage or antique marble and see what kind of matches you can come up with.

There's also a Marble Collectors Society of America and a whole lot more resources out there.
MarbleCollecting.com is the premier website for all things related to marble collecting.

Three of them look like clay marbles and a few look like ones I've found in a old dump area, that I think was used from the 1910s to the 1960s, so it might be some kids collection of old and new marbles. When I was a kid it still seemed a somewhat popular thing to have a bunch of marbles in a cigar box, with a goal of the more boxes of marbles you had, the better your collection. I remember I might of had a half a box full, but lost interest to baseball bubble gum cards and the old fashion money that was still found in circulation in the mid 1960s. Boy was it ever simple to stimulate a kid back then.
