Can you take a few smaller pics and show where the "edges" come together? And the yellow one you found? I can't peg it for nuthin. Cheese will give his input I am sure. But better pics needed! Can't wait!!!

Cool finds! The green looks like an Alley from the 40s or so, the yellow looked like a regular game marble at first but I think I might be spotting a couple of dark spots that might indicate it's an Akro flintie.
 

Ty I'll have to keep an eye open for more these are the first I've found

Cheese, I am constantly amazed at what eagle eyes you have. I would have thot that yellow one was just a game marble because I wouldn't have noticed the "spots". Anywho, I just wanted to post these two which I believe are Akro flinties (please correct me if I'm wrong as I don't want to give misinformation!) The spots you are referring to would be on both poles (ends) of the marbles and are actually clear glass - you can shine a light right thru the marble.

That's actually a pretty good one... a harder to find Alley color combination, worth a few bucks if it's in good shape.

You are right about those being flinties Moxie... I'm not sure if the yellow one is or not, the spots are off to the side and out of focus in the pics. Might just be dirt, lol.
 

I'm just curious where/how you are finding these?
 

From an old military housing area they cleared out all the houses and the 2 marbles I've found was just in the ground with a little bit sticking out after the rain
