A bag of old marbles. Many are cute, tiny marbles. My old collection had only one of these clear marbles with white swirls inside. This lot had about 20. The others are old, some are the large ones. Great fun!

Could not resist them. Off the lot goes to my granddaughter. Did try and look up the small ones. I don't even know what they are called. There were many books on eBay to use as reference but I don't have patience to try that again.

Must buy a new bowl for granddaughter to display them once she grown out of the marble stage.
