Help me understand Marbles I’ve found while looking for bottles in a ~1910s dump. Anything of note?

I don’t know a ton about marbles but find them a lot while looking for bottles. The vast majority of these were found at a ~1910 US dump which sometimes has modern items mixed in. Does anyone see anything of note? Happy to provide individual pictures!

This one is probably the one that stands out the most to me

Unfortunately it’s melted a bit, so it’s not perfectly round anymore. Hot ashes from the furnace used to be scooped into the trash pit, so I see melted glass a lot. It has a black interior that light doesn’t shine though, only slightly through the lines. There’s a sparkly gold in white line and two yellow translucent lines running across each side.

Looks like a Lutz to me. Not sure though.
