Interesting mix of old playing marbles

[hdesousa]

Recently on eBay as a single group.  Many limestone, many very faded chinas, three faceted onionskins, large one with mica (and heavily played with), a nice marble marble "blood alley", one clay, one variegated porcelain, a large wooden marble, and a Codd bottle "bullet mold".  Notably absent are ordinary swirls and more clays.

Very old lot, maybe somebody's grandparent brought them over from Europe.

Appears to be pre 1900.  The seller says the family these marbles came from were originally German and had lived in the Toledo, Ohio area since the early 1800's.  A note with the marbles said "Grandma Kellogg's marbles, ca 1890".
