There are quite a few of these (of each color and design pictured) that I obtained with a recent lot containing many Peltier items, I'm looking for verification that you agree they are Pelts...although for some reason I'm getting an Akro vibe from a few. Thanks, John

Thanks Steph...much appreciated.

Hi All, Due to the interest expressed in the described bag that I first asked about on this site, I have decided to offer it for sale in eBay. The item number is 221693095213. I don't know how to include a link but feel free to check it out and place a bid. Thanks.

Ugh... those are fabulous pics of the No. 18 and 21 boxes. That suggests that mine possibly could have had NLR's, or multi-colored swirls inside as well. So the lady I got these from said there were 2 more "boxes" of marbles. She suggested that her son likely had them, and may have allowed his kids to play with them because he isn't sure where they are at the moment. Given the fact that I currently have what I have, I'm assuming that my box was probably full of either the feathered slags or multi-colored swirls. For collectors and value sake, would it make sense to fill it with one or the other, or keep it empty since I'm not positive what was there.

Steph, Thanks so much for the quick links and pics. I love that the web and other collectors knowledge can so quickly give and idea of what something is. Frankly, at first I didn't even know that these were Peltier items. The name had me in my naivity thinking Champion.

Nice Ron... I assume the number on the front corresponds to the number of marbles inside. So they had 15, 21, and 28. Any other sizes?

Okay... so now the fun really begins. These marbles were all a part of the group that I got...so I'll assume that my placement is correct. 15 total marbles would suggest 3 each of 5 different colors. The confusing part is that the woman I got them from mentioned remembering a shooter or shooters either with the box or the bag. Also, I have included a pic of the end of the box showing the original place or sale as being M Gropper & Sons, in New York City. Thanks again for your thoughts. John

Dave and Steph... thanks to both of you for your thoughts. I was feeling the same way as far as the contents of the champion box containing feathered slags. There were not 15 in the group....leading me to believe that some were lost or destroyed though the years. The bag also got my interest due to the variety in the group. Most of these marbles were in really nice condition, which surprised me a bit because a group of handmade marbles from the same individual had many more marbles that were rather damaged.

Hi All, It has been a long time since I posted, however a recent purchase has me turning to all of your expertise with questions. I just acquired a Champion Glass Marbles net bag. It has a divided center, with one side that was empty while the other had Peltier multi-color swirls. There was also a Luck Boy Box with 15 empty slots and the No. 15 on the front. Prior to my obtaining these marbles, an antique dealer had picked up the marbles and set them back down as a group. My questions is.... do you know which marbles would have gone in which package? The group had Peerless patches, multi-color swirls, and slags for the most part. Thanks, John

That's what it's all about... great score! John
