Need help with these three. Please.

[[email protected]]

Hi guys, this is my first post in the marble section and I am not too knowledgeable in this area. I have eyeballed quite a few old marbles and some nice ones. Unfortunately most have been hit by the plow and have chips or flea bites(?)
I have three that are in decent condition and I was hoping that someone could please identify and/or tell me if they are worth anything. The first one could be an End of Day and is a regular size (just over half an inch) and has one flea bite near the pontil mark. The next one is larger and is glazed ceramic. It has shades of brown, black, and white. No damage. It is a little over 3/4 of an inch. The third is a blue glazed, pottery type with white swirls and two nice pontil marks with no damage. It seems bigger than a jumbo crock size and is a little over an inch across. Sorry for the not giving the proper measurement terms (official sizes)
I appreciate any help and that there is a marble forum. Cool!
Thanks,
Dave.

the first one is an onionskin...very old from germany...like 1880s to the 20s the others are benningtons also probanly from germany in about the same time frame....the onionskin in mint in the 5/8 size maybe 40$ in mint condition...the others maybe a dollar or two in 5/8

Thanks Duffy, I figured you would be one of the ones to know. The blue bennington is much larger than 5/8 and the brown is only slightly larger. Thanks for the info. They seemed fairly old. Not as old as the pecked stone marbles that the Natives made. I have a few of those. I have a good 50 to 100 clay marbles with many different colours and styles. Are there ones that are scarce other than the common orange or white types? Thanks again.
Dave.

on the clays and benningtons...many were dyed for those mosaic things...some were made at akron at the american toy works there...some benningtons were multi colored or fancy with like spots or lines..nothing to elaborate just like rollin the unglazed marble around in a different color glaze....some a really pretty and thus demand a higher price...pink is the most coveted...there is some good info on this site .....http://www.akronmarbles.com/
