Marble
notes: label: Description
content: Glass marble with swirls of opaque yellow and light green and clear orange near surface. Most kids had few belongings to entertain themselves with on the bus and at recess. Marbles and jump ropes were popular at the time and they could be played in groups or alone. Both were inexpensive, but highly prized by the children who owned them.
