the solid colored mibs are chinese checker or game marbles...orange swirl at the bottom looks like a heaton marble from cario wv..above that one is a marble king tri-color..the one to the right next to the keyboard is a vitro all-red...dont see much value there....5.00 would be a little high to me 3.00 would be more fair on that deal....but you got some marbles and that haint all bad!!!

Rust spots on marbles is good..

When I see that I know the marbles were dug from a dump site old enough that the tin cans have rusted away. That tells me 1940s at the latest and possibly earlier than that. The rust comes off with a wet brillo pad.
