They were produced primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, often featuring vibrant colors and metallic sheen due to the inclusion of gold or silver leaf. Named after the Lutz family, who were prominent glassmakers, these marbles are highly sought after by collectors for their craftsmanship and historical significance.

Most of the country's glass marbles were made around Parkersburg, West Virginia, particularly in the mid-20th century. The area was home to several glass factories, such as the M. A. Hadley Company and the Paden City Glass Company, which specialized in producing marbles. This region became a significant hub for marble manufacturing due to its skilled labor and access to raw materials. Today, many of these factories have closed, but the legacy of marble production in the area remains a point of local historical pride.

Marbles gained significant popularity during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the United States and Europe. The game became especially widespread in the 1920s and 1930s, with many children playing it during recess and in their neighborhoods. The introduction of mass-produced glass marbles also contributed to its popularity during this time. Although its popularity has waned since then, marbles still hold nostalgic value for many.

The term derives from the boy's game of marbles which was hugely popular in the US during the last 1/3 of the 19th through the first 1/2 of the 20th centuries.Marbles were almost always wagered through playing a game of "keepsies" whereby each of the players placed an agreed upon number of their marbles equal to those placed by the other players into a circle drawn in the dirt and by knocking other player's marbles outside of the ring by shooting at them using a "shooter" marble from outside the ring, the shooter kept the marbles he "scored" and continued shooting until he missed then it was the next players turn. When all marbles were gone from inside the circle, the game was over and the players kept whatever number of marbles they "scored". It wasn't necessary to keep score in a casual game such as this since whatever marbles each player had afterwards was the score. Since all marbles entered were at risk, it was possible for one or more players to lose all their marbles by the game's conclusion.Since marbles were the prize possessions of many little boys, it is safe to assume that one who had lost all of his might wander around the streets in a daze, perhaps the shock of having been wiped out casting a pall of funk or insanity over the loser, especially if viewed by passersby and out of context. Having lost all ones marbles may have caused the loser to express great anger - an early, alternate connotation of the saying which eventually gave way to the term meaning that one who lost his marbles has gone insane, which is logical as being angry or "mad" can easily morph to "madness" or insanity.
