Marble Identification help

[Bumpa66]

Happy New Year everyone! I found this marble in a cellar hole I have been digging. It looks very crudely made. Does anyone know how old and what type this marble is? I've pulled about 5 marbles out of this cellar hole so far.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Here's another pic next to another marble for comparison.

Only thing I can tell you is somebody lost their marbles. (sorry can't resist sometimes) lol

Thanks Surf. I couldn't find that forum this morning.

1920s-1940s slag marble.... though some of the early machine ones are worth way more than the handmade ones...

Thanks PeteWmass. That's about the time period of the bottles I am finding in this cellar hole. Maybe there will be older stuff deeper down.
