It looks like Pluto or something definitely not Uranus. Its about ¾" are these harder to find? 

 

These clays--some of them--were made in Ohio and probably others places in the USA as well.

@akronmarbles knows more about these than any that I can think of.

Lets call him on the phone here and see if he answers.

Marble--On!!

I think the one you highlighted is a Fancy Bennington from Germany. Bennington is an American potter. I think these types are called Benningtons simply because they look sorta like Bennington pottery and they were named before we knew they were made in Germany. American pottery marbles don't usually show the "fish eyes" that are characteristic of these German types.
