migbar Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Another Reg'lar Fellers connection to marbles is that the characters of that comic strip were suggested for the Peltier Picture Marbles, or comics, but they weren't known on the west coast, so they decided not to use them. Additional note of clarification...Sample marbles with the original twelve characters were made in September and October of 1933. The Reg'lar Fellers were suggested as additional characters in November of 1933, but not accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Hey Michael! Good combination of Reg'lar Fellers, mentioned here earlier, and the 'Picture' marbles mentioned in Hansel's other post. I'm really enjoying getting historical facts about these, although I don't really expect to ever own any. There's just something about them that makes you want to know 'what's the story?' Hansel! Nice buckle, and terrific lighting and everything else in the photo! Amazing detail and almost 3D depth. Same with the Reg'lar Fellers pin/medal, but it's confusing me visually/optically. Is that 'open air' around the stars-and-stripes shield, or is it a textured gray area that looks similar to your background? Also wondering if the stripes are painted or glass. Thanks!

kbobam Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 That's a wild one! If you don't mind my being a little 'out there', (never done that before!), the design is very 'natural' and makes me think of many things. It could be *out in space *underwater *under a microscope *a fossil underneath the North Pole ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob, Interesting that the background looks so much like that 'open air' you describe. Here's a less confusing pic: The stripes are enamel, which I think is powdered colored glass that is melted together with heat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kbobam Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 Thanks! The 'focus' of the gray area in the first photo made me think it couldn't be the 'see-through' background, but the 'darker to lighter' from the bottom to the top made me think 'well maybe it could'. The red stripes really look like transparent glass. Nice piece! ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdesousa Posted February 22, 2014 Report Share Posted February 22, 2014 clearies? Right. Clear glass, single pontils. Like a sulphide without the figure. I'll have to dig them out and look at them again. Don't even remember what a (German) No. 5 size corresponds to, but I think they're larger than 1".

lstmmrbls Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 Awesome, thanks for showing those items Hansel! A dozen Sulphides 1 1/4" were 78 cents in 1931-3, a dozen 11/4" swirls 39 cents, I wonder what the crystals went for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
