I've been digging at a 1940's bottle dump for the past month. Lots of soda bottles, but I've also found 33 marbles along the way. Just wanted to know if any of them have any value. I'm not going to sell them, just want to know if any are rare or valuable (doubtful). Also, I think the solid color ones may be part of a Chinese Checkers set. Is that correct? Thanks for any input!

It's possible they could be rare. Here's a link. Hope that helps :)

Thanks, guys! The weird part is the marbles pop up in every part of the dump. Not a spill in one spot, for example. I guess they were very popular back in the 1940's and a lot of mothers threw them out with the trash! Lol!
