hehe Nice pic, Ed. That's helpful.

Interesting. A "Peltier Volleyball". I can't remember ever hearing that name before. It's actually been so long that I've forgotten what these are ... are they Master?

That's a treasure. You couldn't use it without smiling.

American Machine-Made Marbles shows a blister pack on p. 175 with 30 All-Reds. Six rows of five. At the top it says "Out of This World". Which seems like a completely different purpose from what 60 red would be for, but it's a cardback .... The AMMM price estimate for that one says $250-300. Soooo a 9 year old estimate for not the same item .... I'll hush now ....

New one to me. Sling shot ammo makes sense.

The pastel baseballs can be in a league of their own.

Is that oxblood?

Coolness!

Glass blending in the same way as paint would?

I'm trying to remember what I saw one which looked like that called ..... was it lemon meringue?

six ribbons?

way tooooo cute

Yeppers! Play ball!

What a looker. My two thoughts were Peltier and Vacor. ... until I saw the small size and then my thoughts changed to Vacor and Champion.

Loving the whimsy in the artwork.

Hi Bill! From what I hear, North Carolina is a nice place to land. I actually lived there once but I don't remember ... I was a toddler in a military family.

For $7.95 you could spend a month digging through the Harrisburg Telegraph. The snippets here look promising. http://www.newspapers.com/search/#lnd=1&query=annual+marble+tournament&t=1227

No ... I can't find anything tagged Harrisburg ... other than tournament buttons with the names you already have listed. Edit: actually I saw at least one article about the tourney but again not with a name you didn't already have. Edit #2: I also saw a button for the 11th annual tourney with a picture of the 1932 winner but I don't see a name.

Who else makes single-seam guinea-like marbles?

Gotta save this for the collection of pix of marbles which sometimes get confused with each other.

Awwww, that's so sad.

Seriously. Nice comparison.

I'll have to look in my files. The only city I had a conscious focus on was Beckley, WV. I kept finding so much on Beckley that it got its own folder. Harrisburg, hmmm .....

Yes, Carnelian. (a special marble) And now I'm thinking we're looking at a different maker than Peltier on the banana-y one. Maybe Master. ... and I like it!
