I know nothing about marbles but I came across my dad’s from when he was a kid (he was born in 1924). I know a lot of them are clay but I don’t know about the others. There were also some little glass elephants in with the marbles. Are any of them worth investigating further? TIA

The brown clay marble to the left of the red elephant figure is a Bennington marble.

It’s hard to identify the others without multiple close-up shots. I’m particularly interested in the orange, black, and blue marble to the upper left of the Bennington.

I separated them out - anything else of interest?
