westcoast_dave Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 Peltier referred to the process as "molding glass". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 So you consider some of the marbles made by Peltier to be similar to the Early MKs?????? The only synonym I could find anywhere close was overlayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Semantics aside, would it be fair to say this method was used as a requirement for the specific patterns being made? Or was it something developed for cost savings or ease of manufacture? Seems a lot more complicated than I thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted January 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Supposedly it was for cost savings. This was the period when Vitro and MK were trying to survive the invasion of Japanese cat's eye. p. 158, AMMM: "Lemon stated that it took four years to get the veneering process perfected but it helped reduce costs and kept the company competitive."

FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Overlayer or overlaid,seems to be more accurate than veneer.It would be fair to say that the process or effect is unique,to marbles. Pure speculation on this.I would guess this process was being developed to curb some cost. The marble factories were not non-profit companies,that were producing marbles,for the sake of the children. At the end of the day,bills needed to be paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted January 2, 2015 Report Share Posted January 2, 2015 Yep, cost savings started the process and also ended it at MK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
