I >recently wrote a paper on toys and used the report from a Civil War Era >cistern (1840 - 1867)behind a working class tenement in New York. The >cistern contained over 140 marbles made of clay, glass, and ceramic and had >some beautiful examples of all three types. > >I believe the report is actually called Excavation of a Civil War Era >Cistern and Associated Water System, or something similar, and was written >by Joel Grossman and Associates in 1995 for the New York City Housing >Authority. I know that the South Street Seaport in New York City has a >copy, but there might be other copies around. It really was the most >spectacular assemblage of marbles I had ever seen and might benefit your >work. I hope thise is of some help. > >Regards, >Heather Griggs >
