Sorry, but it is still a bit too fuzzy for me to make out the signature.
It appears to be three lines of text.
Followed by the year (03 or 05).
I went through Steph’s list of Contemporary Artists, but came up short.
Sorry, for not being helpful.
Give this a try…
Take a black sharpie marker and black out the signature area.
Let it dry.
Rub the glass surface with your thumb-pad to remove the marker on the smooth surface.
The remaining black in the grooves will help the signature stand out.
Repost a picture with the black signature.
First guess = Sonny Miller
Best of luck!
…there was a fuss between two marble companies played out in Federal Court.
An excerpt from the court proceedings:
What caught my eye was the mention of Serial Number 1399. 😀
That machine survives and is in the possession of the perfect owner.
Let bygones be bygones. I pray your Akro and Peltier marbles get along in your collection.
Enjoy the journey!!
Excellent! Are you going to punch the header and put the marbles in a mesh bag?
Keep it up. This is fun stuff. Enjoy your journey!! Please keep us updated.
Just to clarify…
When these marbles were made, did Super Boy exist?
Are not these “names” modern nomenclature that the original manufacturer did not use?
Please advise…
