I wouldn't mind playing with those!

I'm not familiar with clay marbles but they make a great picture.

A nice collection, they’re different than the usual glass ones!

@grammyn Thank you Katy. The marbles were collected by my husband and supposedly were civil war era. I think he found them at antique stores. He like to dig around places like that.
@joemuli Thanks Joey. They actually are smooth to the touch.
@summerfield No chocolate at my house. I don't eat chocolate but once in less than a blue moon. I might have it here if you came to visit.
@bkbinthecity Thank you Brian.
@shutterbug49 Thanks Debbie.
@kjarn Thanks Kathy.
@wakelys Thank you Sue.
@pusspup They are different but fun to show and talk about. @jamibann Thanks Issi.
@will_wooderson I guess they are fairly sturdy. They've lasted this long and are still in good shape
@tunia Thanks Tunia. I think they are Civil War era.
@craftymeg They are old Margaret. My husband liked picking up things like this so I have a number of his "treasures" sitting around.

I have a few clay ones that used to belong to my dad and uncles among the shiny glass ones I also have. But none are a beautifully decorated as these. Just plain. Cool way to fill the frame!

[Kathy]

@mcsiegle Thank you. I'm appreciating all the doodads Gene would collect and sometimes wish I hadn't gotten rid of so many of them.

[CAT Carter19]

Those are soooooo cool - clay marbles from the Civil War era? What an amazing collection - I love marbles have a small collection but no clay ones, now I want some lol

[Kathy]

@catcarter19 If I run across anymore I'll let you know. I know they are advertised on line, mostly on Etsy. Thank you very much. My husband and his "stuff."
