Thanks for sharing. Hope the value is all in the bag and folks weren't bidding it up for the marbles.

No marbles were shown. It was only text in a 1907 trade journal. The racism on that page is breathtaking and heartbreaking. Here's the part about marbles. Here's the whole link: Mixer and Server - Google Books

Steph's link is the only forum actually called "Japanese Transitionals" I've seen the extensive amount of knowledge you've contributed to the hobby on AAM. I was there on your very first post, thank you for all the hard work/. I truly hope you find something new here.

The box set is great and the purple transitional! I saw mushroom type marbles in similar puzzle boxes. Chiyogami paper in mame-shibori pattern is used. Do they have crease pontils?

Hello akroorka🐬! I was wondering what to be the first! My city Yamagata has a monthly flea market at Suwa shrine. This is my latest find. Lots of Seike Stripeys including shooters.

I'm curious. If the article embarrasses people here, maybe you can show only the marble picture? Does it mean our poorly made marbles reach to the US that early?

Peewees used in airplane controls?? May 28, 2001:

Thank you for the information again, Steph! I am closely looking at the enlarged picture right now. The white looking marbles could be German porcelain marbles with petals and circles. Then I see something like half & half and figure8s... The 1929 date sounds like a bit too early for Japanese machinemades. The first automatic gob feeding system in my country was thought to be started by Naoyuki Seike. The patent (Showa6-2564) was applied in Aug 1930. Yet Seike could have been the first marble maker who exported glass marbles to western countries. Glass marble makers before Seike exported marbles, but they were heading to neighboring countries. In 1937 magazine, Seike explained how his marble business started; his factory started in Taisho13 (1924) and his first marbles were exported to America and Australia, although they were in small number.

Very cool 😎!!

random pelt pics from the folder 👍

I've been through the thread and learned the trademark information was what Brian had posted at AAM. Yasuda had been one of the big glass bangle makers whose main consumer was India. It says the trademark was registered for glass bangles and other glass products. We do not know for sure whether Yasuda made transitionals as early as 1929.

Thank you so much, Steph! That would be the very thread I wanted to read! I will go and read from now!

Thank you Chad! I had a search result a bit too many, and I was overwhelmed...I started to read from the latest post of YasudaCollector! "Stephs Study Hall" sounds fun! Does it have a section of Japanese transitionals?

Sorry for the multiple posts 😅 It seemed like alot for one post so I wanted to split them up. I'll finish up with the quick shots of my Jabo shelf (I also like to keep my vintage vitro bags on this one, but everything else is like the Jabo era.)

I was informed (by a pretty awesome person) that these tools were used in some of the Jabo production runs. The two with heavy use were a couple of the actual workers daily drivers and the lightly used, smaller tool was actually made for a child of someone connected to the Jabo team that would sometimes visit the workplaces with their parent. I wanted to keep them all safe but need to figure out some way to display them still.

I have this (Signed) Jar of Peewees; And then a little bag of Peewees with Jim King's signature on the little card insert.

I have a couple cool jabo type things; Starting with these signed collector sets, one set is signed by David McCullough (The Master himself) and the other is signed by Joanne Argabrite as one of the founders of Jabo, Inc. They are numbered, so I am sure some other ones are out there, I have 4 sets total. They may all be signed but I am not sure, all 4 I have are signed and dated by either David or Joanne. There could be other signers too so not sure on how rare these are really.

Thanks again everyone🔥 RAR

Nahhhhh ! Sorry you thought I was calling you out. This one has had me on the fence when I got it a couple days ago. I appreciate all the feedback on this one. I think I screwed up when I thought it was from a Pelt dig. CAC it is and I keep chasing it around in my fingers 🔥 RAR

I'm pretty geeked up about this one. Gotta love Marble Mail🔥 RAR👍

Vacor for sure, Hand-gathered for sure----- This one is an Atmo—nice find! I have too many like this. Marble—On!!

You may be lucky--but this is not a Pelt imho. This is a CAC from a dig. More than likely a CAC “Striped Transparent” that did not quite make it past inspection. You called me out Fire—here I am. . It is a very nice-although beat up, CAC imho I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble—On!!

I found out today that this is from a Pelt dig. I'm a lucky Guy🔥 RAR

Atmosphere 🔥 RAR

Ok, just gotta let me cook: 1. Load solid shot ammo in a tank 2. Put a marble in the barrel (a toebreaker), right in front of the round 3. Fire 4. Profit
