Nice Big Lot of Old Clay Marbles in Shades of Gray 19th century american painting Stamped 104 on the undersideJust some more antique clay marbles, because I can't get enough, and I love how much seeing so many different shades of gray together. It looks like there is one white china marble mixed in, with pale orange and gray stripes, too. About 75 of them here, making for a luxurious bowl full. Sizes vary from about 1 2" to 11 16" in diameter. All in good condition, with no notable chips that I can see. Sold as a lot.
