cant really tell...its prob a contemporary marble judging from the size...maker unknown...
 

Aim a blacklight at it..

I dug up a green marble looking much like your's in an old dumpsite strata circa 1916/1920s. Later that night I hit it with a blacklight and it lit up like a green meteor. You can buy UV LED flashlights online for very little.
 

i dont know then.....does it have a pontil???.....while the blacklight thing is fun....it in no way can help date a marble.....many elements react to the uv....modern marbles made by jabo have some awesome uv properties as they use the cullet from the burmese fenton....but many older marbles do react if they got uranium oxide in em or prob any metalic element....all companies used some elements that react....its great fun but does not effect the value unless somebody just collects glowers....
