Those are pretty..

Looks like they span 1940s,50s and perhaps 60s. Someone who lived in your house loved marbles. Was it you?

Wasn't me, I've only lived in this house for 4 years. since I posted this I've found at least six more out there.

theres some vitro mixed in with those cateyes...after 57 or so the asian cateyes started to come to the usa....after that the process was invented here in this country at st marys wv....the marble industry drastically changed after that...theres some nice mibs in your bunch...cull out the cats and take another pic....im thinkin i see a vitro opal in there....cats are kewl but muddy the waters a little...

there is a nice green and red corkscrew.. if it has no chips or scratches..should be worth at least a 20 spot!

they've pretty much all got scratches and dings on them I'll try to put up some pics, but my camera is in the middle of a personality crisis, and won't work until I buy it a new memory card.

Looks like that house had a bunch
of kids living there before you did.
