I think the smaller, solid colored marbles go with the 30's Chinker-Check wooden board I just posted. Either way, both the tin and marbles inside are vintage, though I have yet to figure out their respective ages.

    When I was small we used to call those large marbles "Dough rollers". Anybody else use that term ?

    I knew I lost them somewhere. I am too young to have played "in the day" but I think they called big ones shooters, for knocking the others out of the circle.

    I was thinking that the largest of them (all clear) on the left side of the picture might be the shooter.
