A Couple of Clays. Help with the Makers

[Parmcat]

Bought these in a lot, but they were in their own individual ziplock bags.  One is matte, one is glazed.

Any help appreciated!

The first is a speckled clay, and it's pretty much impossible to determine the maker. The second is referred to as a Bennington - they are made in Germany.

I was hoping it might be a Bennington, but didn't want to speculate

 

Thank you

Can you give an approximate date on the speckled clay?

As far as I know, these types of painted brown earthenware marbles were known to be made in Germany and America (and probably other places) ca. 1880s - 1930s.
