Just read that the first glass marbles were made in Germany in the 1840s

Found that on a museum site while looking up old techniques. Anyone know if that's true or just a common myth?

Wow, @parker_price, it's wild how often we all find the SAME random facts online.

Check the museum's sources page, they usually list where they got the info. I look for citations to academic papers or old factory records. If it's just a standalone sentence with no backup, I take it with a grain of salt.
