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.

Yea we played some game where you tried to hit tin soldiers with marbles. Late 80s.

I dpn't remember playing that game as a kid. What we played in the mid-late '60s was just with marbles and a hole in the dirt that we made by rotating our heel into the ground and smoothing off the displaced dirt. There would be a line in the dirt about 15 feet away where we would pitch the marbles from. To move the marble closer to the hole you could either use your foot (tapped by the other foot) or your index finger bent like an "L" to hit the marble into the hole. But marbles are marbles, so they were still alive in the late 1980s. Many Chinese checkers games used marbles too.
