Fake and Reproduction Marbles
Some are glass and try to mimic old machine made or German handmade marbles.The last 5 years or so have seen a huge influx of these fake clay and sulphide marbles.
The most common are clay marbles said to be dredged from a river, from the Tennessee area, Civil War marbles, etc. If these clay marbles had been in a river for 100 years you can bet they would have disintegrated, be in pieces and not be in perfect condition.
These are easy to catch. They are very heavy for clay, have crude magic marker drawn graphics and many have crazing added to make them look old.
