MARBLES. It is thought that marbles started with the cave people playing with small pebbles or balls of natural clay. Clay balls have been found in the tombs of Egypt, Native American burial grounds and in the ancient Aztec pyramids.
There has been a National Marbles Tournament since 1922; for many of those years it has been held in Wildwood, New Jersey. The contestants are fourteen years and younger with male and female divisions. The tournament is four days long.
