BuckEye Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 1/2" 00 slags? I found a nice mint grouping. They all are Cac, but did other companies make them, or only Cac? Thanks, Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigtee0 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 did CAC make very many peewees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Yup, 00 are 9/16". And I sure haven't seen too many 1/2" slags other than a few CAC, maybe a couple of pinch pontils . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Was there a range for these sizes or did 00 mean spot on 9/16", and for that matter, how small did they go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 My understanding is that a size 0 marble would fit through a 5/8" hole but not a 9/16" (00) hole. So a size 0 marble could range from 9/16"+ to 5/8". Likewise, a 00 marble could range from 1/2"+ to 9/16". In essence, I think marbles were sized based on the smallest size hole they would fit through. A true peewee would have to fit through the 1/2" (000) hole. And I've never heard of a size 0000, which would be a 7/16" hole, or smaller. Although, I definitely have seen marbles smaller. FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuckEye Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Interesting Ric, these are all 1/2, the top row second red may be even smaller. I'll have to measure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
