Post Civil War, as noted.  Pics are out of focus and too much flash, but appears to be a solid core.

This marble was found during excavation near a home built in 1904.  The family immigrated just before the Civil War and the home owner lost a leg in battle.  Found near the foundation of a long gone carriage house.  I'd love to hear what y'all think on this one.

Thanks.  This is the first 1" marble I have found here, so I was curious.  

This marble was found in South Central Illinois while excavating an area that may have once been a 19th Century carriage house.  The original owner of the property was a German immigrant and Civil War veteran. Curious as to its origin.
