Might I suggest that you keep this group of marbles together as they will always mean more to you this way. I have kept all my original marbles this way. As a group my marbles are rather non-descript, but rediscovering them about 6 years ago sparked my interest in marble collecting. Although I now have many marbles more attractive and rarer than my little hoard of hard won mibs when I was 10 years old, nothing will ever eclipse my original marbles. As a tribute to the elderly gentleman who relinquished ownership to you, I think it only fitting to keep them together. But, of course, that's your call to make. Nice marbles!!!

As the marbles are from a variety of makers and the frosting is not uniformly smooth (note the numerous tiny dings), I would have to say they are nothing more than marbles that saw a lot of action on cement playground slabs (remember the game 4 square was usually played on cement).
