These marbles were recovered from the surface of the Canville Trading Post, located near the Osage Reservation in Neosho County and donated to the Kansas Historical Society in 1994. The clay and glass marbles represent hours of fun, perhaps for both children and adults. Two of the marbles are decorated, both with blue and red lines circling the marble in different directions. One marble has six lines, the other has three. The Canville Trading Post was established in 1847 by A. B. Canville. When the Osage reservation land was ceded to the United States in 1870, the Osage left for Oklahoma and Canville followed in 1872.
