Newbie 1948-ish? Marbles?

My aunt asked if I could help her date or ID these marbles

Newspaper clipping of her husband (Stanek), back side hints to year being 1947/8. Also including is the pouch they were in

Wow, the articles are a treasure.  And the bag is great also.

 

The marbles however are not so old.  When Japanese cat's eyes were introduced in America around 1950, they had very clear, untinted base glass and had four vanes made with a single color.  

Later cat's eyes had six-vanes or three vanes, and started to have a coke bottle green base glass.   So those cat's eyes are later. 

The white based marbles with the three ribbons are also later.  Both these marbles and cat's eyes like that are still being made today.  So somehow newer marbles got joined with an older bag. 

 

The clearies would also be very difficult to date, having been made by many companies over the years.  However, they COULD be from the 1940's.  They were being made then (and are still being made today).

Thank you very much for that reply Steph, very helpful. Would make sense that he could have had the clearies and added more through the years. I looked through and they all have 6 vanes. I did also find this one that is different from the rest, not sure if it’s anything special?

I wondered about that one also.  Not at all sure. Could be older.
