Is this a Brown Bennington Marble?

[Ben Slayton]

Hi, I’m totally new to marbles. My dad had a nice sized collection he left me with and I’m trying to identify some of them. I have searched and searched and search. The closest thing I can find is that this is a handmade Brown Bennington? Can anyone confirm or deny?

 

sorry for the glare. Did the best I could. I saw the stickied tutorial afterwards and will do that next time.

Could be the lighting but appears like it might have some blue or green in there too?

Ben, here is a list and others may want to add to this. The colors i have found in the "Bennington" family type marbles are white, black, brown, green, blue, (speckled brown/green/blue called "Fancy" types) pink, speckled pink, tan, as some of the mentioned examples will range up and down the scale for (color concentration). There may also be a yellow one also, which i have myself a very large yellow speckled one. These can be fun trying to find all the colors. There are two types of this so called (crockery type), the Bennington and the Jaspers. The difference is the "Jaspers" are an white base with squiggly lines of colors running around them, most being blue or green and also some pink. This may spark your interest a little. Chuck G---

Thanks Chuck,

Its definitely interesting. This is the only one out of his collection that looks like this. There are probably 150-200 marbles, not Including the stone or clay looking marbles he had. He probably had another 50 of those and a few arrow heads.
