Steph Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 American Machine-Made Marbles gives this result from a count Alan B made of 470 Peltier comics, suggesting Koko is the least rare and Kayo is the most rare: Koko: 61 in 470 Bimbo: 58 in 470 Emma: 49 in 470 Annie: 37 in 470 Herbie: 36 in 470 Skeezix: same Smitty: 34 in 470 Sandy: same Betty: same Moon: same Andy: 32 in 470 Kayo: 25 in 470 And then there are the specialty marbles: Tom Mix, Cotes Master Loaf, Hoover for President, Franklin Roosevelt & Babe Ruth. Are you sure you had an original Cotes marble? I think there might be some modern reproductions. Maybe? [Edit: yes, there are modern marbles with a Cotes logo on them] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sissydear Posted December 12, 2011 Report Share Posted December 12, 2011 If it went for only $8.00, chances are it was modern. Many people would have been bidding if it were the real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck G Posted December 13, 2011 Report Share Posted December 13, 2011 Rylee, Steph is pretty much right on with her list. I have heard that we all know that a full set is the 12 regular comics but when they produced the two colored mib sets Coytes and Tom Mix was the other two added to make the full set and that set is 14, now that was i was told this year and some may disagree with that.

The Peltier comics were made in the 1930's. Here's an example of a reproduction. It's on a relatively recent Marble King. I don't know which decade it came from but I think we can very safely say after 1970. http://www.ebay.com/...D-/350422196175 Here's a 1930's one, photo from a Morphy's auction: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
