The producing companies used box end wrenches for checking size. They were 1/2 inch and 9/16 inch or 5/8 and 11/16 inch, etc. The wrenches hung on the marble machine at the start of the rolls. Done by vintage producer's, Jabo and current machine made marble makers.  The company boxed sets used zeros has size indicators. I have never heard of any machine made  marble company using 2/3 as a marble measurement.  But could be possible ? 

Love this idea

Chad, thanks a bunch. That explains in great detail the diference in the patch and the super boy. I will check out the links. Who knew that Marbles could be do complicated.

HI Chad, I am VERY new so please forgive im ignorance. You called the 2nd one a Peltier Superboy. Again, being new and trying to learn, I would have thought that one to be a PPP. Is the superboy a Patch? If not what would I look at to know the difference? Thanks a million, Jeff
