More Old Clay Marbles! Set One cast iron boat expanding in the first quarterI'm not over my obsession with old clay marbles, and have just added four new (old) sets to the shop. I really love how each batch I've found has a different personality, and, like rocks, each marble is unique. Just so lovely. About 50 marbles exactly as shown.
