Hey marble guys,
I dug both of these this week. They rolled out of a WW2 workers housing area. I don't get many marbles so I have no info on them. I figured I would hit you guys up for some info. I am sure they aren't to special, and they aren't in the greatest shape. But I sure do love seein them in the bottom of a hole. Thanks in advance.

That's a very good find..

I dug up a 1930s green cleary marble today. Not worth diddly. Millions were made by various manufacturers. What you've got there are two real purty marbles with good looks and history.
