I am a graduate student attempting to finish up my thesis on the "Identification and Classification of Historic Toy Marbles for Museums and Archaeologists". I am inquiring to the people who know of any such objects in their collections to briefly outline: Quantity Materials Provenience (if known!) References used to identify them as such and If spheres of stone, glass, clay or metals under 1/2 " in size...what other object names have been given? I have received some good information or "not found here" replies and thank you all for the well-appreciated use of your time and collections databases. This is mostly a simple guide for under 1000 total marbles. Diane Rice, currently Program Coordinator at the Garden City Library, ID
