Marble Marbles

These marbles are made out of marble.

Antique Trader - Collecting vintage marblesThese are stone marbles, made of marble. In the historic record they were called “marble marbles” or “realies.” This specific type was called a “bloody” in the 1870s, due to its reddish pigment. These are rare in American collections today.
