Remodelling a house that was built during the 1850's in Missouri, I found quite a few marbles scattered around in an area that there was no possible access to since the house was built. There were also a few coins dated in the 1840's and 1850's, all from Prussia (Germany). The numerous interesting marbles may have created a couple of new marble collectors out of my girlfriend and myself.
So, I'm completely new to all this, and would like to put a name and if possible, an age and manufacturer to some of these marbles. Here is the one I am most interested in at the moment, it is about 1 1/4" diameter. Thanks for any help, and any suggestions to someone new to the world of marbles. Setting a dollar value is not an issue to us unless we should consider getting insurance for them or could they could lead to early retirement
