These Clay Marbles came from my Dads Estate collection in Michigan.
He was a collector of coins, stamps, indian artifacts, & more. I know about some antiques, but marbles I have NO clue! Help me me on this one please. Indian marbles maybe?

These are clay (toy) marbles - mass produced in this country beginning in the 1890s. Machine made glass marbles followed in the early 1900s.
