These belonged to a family friend. They are well over 100 years old and I think they are made of wood. I like to imagine that lovely old gentleman as a boy at the turn of the century, playing with these "relics".
These are made of clay, not wood. A very nice keepsake.

Thanks to Efesgirl for the info and the love.
You're welcome :-)
Clay marbles were made till at least the 1930s. Especially colourful ones as glass began to compete.
Thanks for the info, SpiritBear.
