When I was younger I used to play marbles for takes. Only recently I found out that it is haram. I still have all my marbles with me. What should I do with these marbles?

Give it to some poor person if you can't find the owner.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
