Peltier made a “Bengal Tiger” but so does Vacor. They can look very similar. The Vacors can vary in the shade of glass going from almost red to a nice deep orange that is very close to a Peltier. Check the black in these marbles for tiny sparkly bits in it—AV or aventurine as we call it. Also check for opposing seams where the color cuts off and another pattern starts. Marble—On!!

They used to put a lot of wierd things in cereal boxes--just a guess. I suppose that it was some form of promotional thing with some product. More opinions are needed and welcomed. Marble--On!!

Here is an eggplant from the past--Oxblood? This is what I am talking about. I sure miss my cat patrolling the yard (RIP Ragnar), this year is the first experience that I have had with rabbits eating my eggplant. Oxblood On!!

Here is a link to some images of what were sold as marbles and used for playing the game. https://marbleconnection.com/topic/32644-agate-hunting/#comment-282961 Many glass marble makers used the name agate in the company name or the names of individual marbles that they made. The stone agates were the big competition when glass marble making started to expand. They were produced in germany, on our west coast and possibly a few other arenas as well. I will post an image below of one that has been used and used and used. They were hard to break and they beat up the the glass marbles quite frequently. All of the little eyes on the marble in the image are hit marks. The brighter image is backlit. I think that yours are orbs--not marbles, or designed to be played in the game--imho. Marble--On!!

I do not own one but I always thought that they were cool. Yours are in ruff shapee. Do a simple google search for glass marble reflectors, hit images, and be rewarded. They are pretty old, I do not have anything exact for age though. Marble--On!!

Here is a nice video that will help you to understand some of the process anyhow. I guess that I should post the link😁. https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=torch+made+marbles&&view=detail&mid=D20E1302F74BD70F2C4ED20E1302F74BD70F2C4E&&FORM=VRDGAR&ru=%2Fvideos%2Fsearch%3Fq%3Dtorch%2Bmade%2Bmarbles%26FORM%3DHDRSC4 Marble--On!!
