Mikie_T Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Hello all.... Here is one I found last week that is a mystery. I was leaning toward a Bennington but it's not a solid blue. China or Lined Crockery maybe? What do y'all think? This little guy is exactly 3/8" diameter. In the last pic it is sitting next to a 3/8" Pee Wee blue Bennington. Thanks everyone! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SO.... you think the first one I posted (by itself) is a Bennington? (I know the other 4 are Bennington's, I posted them for contrast) The surface does not look like a glaze. It looks like the blue lines are made into the surface. Edited October 24, 2023 by Mikie_T clarity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Gail Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Hmmm I think it is. But maybe @Ric or @Arkoorka might chime in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 I'd call it a crockery marble. I have a number of them but I am not sure about their origin. I usually lean toward Germany, mostly because of that greenish brown color, but I sure wish I had more certainty because sometimes I lean towards one of the earlier American manufacturers like Standard Toy Marble or American Marble and Toy Co. I do know that it's not what we typically call a Bennington and it is likely at least 100 years old. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikie_T Posted October 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2023 I have found many clay marbles, other marbles that are white and glassy looking and a few Benningtons in this creek. I was surprised at the age span of the marbles in this creek. Thanks everyone for your replies! 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
