I would guess, possibly, late in 1927, for feathered slags....(don't know)

Hansel, I've seen the Akro Cardinal Reds only in pictures, but they appear pretty much identical to the Peltier Cerise Onyx that I dug at the factory.

In Steph's Study Hall > Mostly Pix-Gropper > post #17 I showed a page from the June 1926 inventory that mentions amounts made of various colors onyx marbles, including some white ones. However,in 1927, the amount of white onyx marbles made, was nearly the same as the other colors, up to size #3.

The box that Hansel shows appears to have several Peltier cerise onyx marbles and at least a few Peltier prima agates, to me. The box that Clyde shows seems to be all Peltier marbles, with the possible exception of the large green one, at least I haven't found one that is quite that color. Milkies first show up in the August, 1927 inventory, with few made, even compared to the prima agates; but they were a production marble for a few years.

Hi Tracy ! I'm older and even more senile now, but mostly pretty good, thanks. I hope you and the kids, and all your other turtles , are well, also. (Hello to David, too...)

Looks like some fine young turtles, Lloyd ! That was nice of Tracy to share them with you... I imagine Chris is already knitting some little plaid camouflage sweaters for them, so they won't feel out of place when Lloyd takes them for their morning walks....

That ol' Lloyd sure does love his snow, yessir !

Looks like it says "Cristal", so probably.

Well,actually, they could have been made on one of Peltier's small hand presses.

Thank you, Chad, I hadn't seen those. Score one more for the Peltier glass press.

I want to see ! I didn't find any of those.

The Agreement with Fleischer Art Service, Inc. commenced on August 1st, 1933. This was for permission to use their cartoon characters, Betty Boop, Bimbo, and Ko Ko. Peltier also had an Agreement with the Famous Artist's Syndicate, who were in control of the Chicago Tribune comic characters, for the rest of the original twelve picture marbles. Peltier was never able to reach an agreement with King Syndicate. They were only willing to offer Popeye, Krazy Kat, the Katzenjammer Kids, and Little Annie Rooney.

Chad...Betty Boop, Bimbo, and Ko Ko were with Fleischer Art Service, not King Syndicate, I think... Clyde...I seem to remember that a rubber Hoover die stamp was found in a house 1/2 block from the factory in Ottawa, several years ago.

None of the special picture marbles, the Cote's, Hoover, and cetera, were mentioned in the Peltier documents or correspondence, that I know of.

Another Reg'lar Fellers connection to marbles is that the characters of that comic strip were suggested for the Peltier Picture Marbles, or comics, but they weren't known on the west coast, so they decided not to use them. Additional note of clarification...Sample marbles with the original twelve characters were made in September and October of 1933. The Reg'lar Fellers were suggested as additional characters in November of 1933, but not accepted.

Most very interesting...

(gasp !) (choke)

I don't know prices, but you could be a little too high on that, which isn't as good as it sounds. Also, I'd be surprised if it really had aventurine.

My vote would be absolutely, no question, on purpose.

There may be K&M's and Liberties and Greycoats with "burnt" colors, but I don't know if I have seen any of these with a pattern that resembles that of the true Burnt Rebels, such as the one shown above, or the Burnt Christmas trees, with the same pattern.

I suspect that they may have been made just prior to the NLR's that have the more familiar six-ribbon "flip-flop" pattern, perhaps as early as 1927 or so.... These two burnt types are about the only Peltier marbles I know of that have one ribbon of color on top of another...

It's a burnt rebel, like a burnt Christmas tree without green.

Just stirring the pot for you a little there, Galen....

Galen....I LOVE owls....nice work !!!

No, he never comes here. (Not for a minute.)
