Oh! I have the old Vacor clay marbles. IDK how I missed it on Steph's vacor video.  In 1984 my little family and I, (Me, wife and 2 year old daughter) were traveling across the states.  Somewhere just past (Location edited) New Mexico, on I-40, in nowhere land, there was a small old church, which was turned into an antique store. It had a gallon tin can half filled with clay marbles for 10 cents each. Because I'd heard a rumor that people were collecting marbles I bought a handful of 10. I had seen these as a kid, my older by 2 years, brother thought they were, like, WWI era for their old utilitarian and dull type of colors. I have been wondering, looking to identify these ever since. 

As a collector, they were the first marbles to which means whenever I first began collecting toy marbles. 

Missed this the first time, these clay marbles in Steph's Vacor video are the answer to my quest for all those years.
