Fake & Reproduction Marbles

Some are glass and try to mimic old machine made or German handmade marbles. The most common are clay marbles said to be dredged from a river, from the Tennessee area, Civil War marbles, etc. But ask yourself, if these clay marbles had been in a river for 100 years wouldn't they have disintegrated, be in pieces and not be in perfect condition?

These clay marbles 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.
