I have 3 antique 1gal mason jars filled with my hard won pre-1970 marbles, all sizes, painted, clearsies, croakers, cats eyes, with a few clay and ball bearings thrown in. Unfortunately, destined for eBay or a yard sale one of these days. They made for a pretty decoration over the last ~55 years.

No nigs at my elementary, most last names were of english or irish decent. Saw my first nig in High School, was a couple grades behind me.

The small metal 6 pronged things (were they called jacks?) Were kind of popular. You would stand one on end, held in place by placing your finger on it to keep it standing, then flick with the index finger of the other hand to make it spin and release. They would spin for under a minute before they wobbled and tipped over. We were easily entertained. Super Balls, big wheels, super elastic bubble plastic, knockers all came out about the time I was coming of age so I missed out.

We played marbles back in my elementary school as well. The school (and township) were named after a German city, and the majority of the surnames were of German & Slavic descent. 100% White.
