Back in 2010, I was told 99% chance of Alley. It did seem strange that Champion would have Alley peewees on hand 27 years after the company went out of business. So it's cool to hear that Champ could do peewees also.

That's a cute box. I don't remember ever seeing that.

If they weren't called Tater Bugs, they would need to be called Flan. Smooth and creamy. That little rod of glass in your bottom middle pic shows up on more than one of mine.

Thanks!

Looks more or less okay to me. I see places where polishing compound would have wanted to stick and I don't see the compound.

What do you have? Or have pictures of? p.s., doesn't have to all be marbles.

I guess this doesn't belong in this thread since it's not exactly "Master-Made". Oh well.

This really is a wonderful display idea!

Don't know the size on these. But they're called Peewees. Well, "Pewees".

When I was 12, I got some clearies of many sizes. I'm pretty sure the source was Champ's Bicentennial bag but not positive -- Santa put them in my stocking and so I didn't see the packaging. But the year was right for them to be the Bicentennial bag. Sooooo ... as we know, the Bicentennial bags contained marbles from many makers. And the peewees have been said to be Alleys. Is that still the ID status on those peewees? The question came to mind today when I came across this muslin bag pic I'd saved long ago. I looked the bag up online today and found that it was filled with peewee clearies.

Of course Alley closed long before 1976.

Great info, guys! Just for clarification -- the ones on the right in this picture were thought to be Ravenswood. Are they also now thought to be Alley? (They're not exactly coral.)

So delicate. Beautiful.

Someone ... was it Smitty? ... was it Brian? ... had a Master sample case which included Cloudys/Cloudies ... I thought I had a photo. Not finding it now. Anyone have a copy?

But is it "Cloudys" or "Cloudies"? Advertisement said "Cloudys". What did boxes say? I _think_ I've seen the label on boxes ..... hmmmm

It's sounding like the Champs might get pushed into the Alley column. Ann, did you see any like the Ravenswoods in the book? I guess I could look myself. About the CAC .... ?????

Nice premium:

You made them? Very cool.
