Hi boys and girls, I was sorting through my desk and found a letter from the "Marble Lady" Cathy C Runyan Scavina from 1998. I had given her one of the Peltier Honey Amber Bananas for being so helpful to me. Turns out the one I gave her was the only smaller marble in the discovery. "It is the exact same size of some of the smaller Peltier marbles that can be found in antique necklaces and pins"(Cathy C Runyan Scavina). I had often wondered what happened to that little gem now I know, I gave it ti Cathy. Sami and Mike I thought might like to have this information. There is at least one little Peltier Honey Amber Banana out there. Best wishes to all.....Joe McDonough

No problem Steph, sixty years of heavy lifting takes it's toll, it was to be expected.....Joe

Hi Everybody, it has taken all this time to catch up with owner of Weis Markets to give him the two prototype marble bags(Weis Winners). Yesterday my district manager informed me that he gave Jonathon Weis the bags last week and he loved them and was greatly appreciative. I am sure that there will be another series this christmas. I will change the color of the header and the types of marbles, title will be Weis Winners 2. Best wishes to everyone.....Joe McDonough

For those of you interested in American history, I have posted at Treasurent.com a handwritten and signed letter from Frank Merrill Frank Merrill was the leader of Merrill's marauders in the second world war. What is unusual about this letter is that Frank Merrill always signed Frank D Merrill, this letter is more personal and is signed Frank Merrill. Very rare in my opinion. hope you enjoy this find.....Joe McDonough
