I just looked at the large poster version (Children's Games; Breughel,
1560) in my bathroom, and I don't see anyone playing marbles.  Lots of
different bowling/kayles/knucklebones games; a huge number of unfamiliar
games (throwing hats for distance between the spread legs of another
player, for example), but no marbles.
