Ima_ddicted Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Let's see your 1/2" or under peewees! Pee wee with a wide strip of oxblood w/ aventurine.A bad picture .....https://scontent.fden3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/185594_4287107742275_1414701320_n.jpg?oh=b54fb2421d8700dd0ca9115aa9abeb96&oe=566D47CC True 1/2" and under pee wee corkscrews. In all my years of collecting marbles, these are the only Akro peewees I have been able to acquire. Pee wee corks are scarcer than hen's teeth! https://scontent.fden3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/321492_4286897817027_829082892_n.jpg?oh=d402c4949e7b3313a09a34f855bc6717&oe=566D4462 A few cross through cateyes. 2 are peewees with their original little cardboard box. https://scontent.fden3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/555171_4288289371815_2060793885_n.jpg?oh=617be621484a87584e1cac547b52986a&oe=56A57E89 A couple more peewee cross-throughs (and some larger cross-throughs):https://scontent.fden3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xap1/v/t1.0-9/734692_4288277451517_852133871_n.jpg?oh=e4accec23893e2dc02d203385d0887e7&oe=569F7753 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Ding Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Nice! I have a question about peewees...I use a digital calipers, so when I get 0.54", which is under 5/8, 9/16 and really around 17/32, would these also be peewees? Strictly speaking, by measurement, it would round down to 0.50". I see some conflicting data in regard to this. I have an oxblood around 0.52" and some corks around 0.54"...but they are tiny and are clearly much smaller than my smaller 5/8" mibs. I know they are not perfectly round either...so what is your opinions of the lower limit or range? Just wondering. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I think that in olden days that would have qualified as a peewee. Kids would have called 'em peewees and they could have been sold in the occasional peewee packaging. However, modern collectors are very strict. 0.5000" or below.

Steph Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 I'll try to get back with some peewees! Packing up my marbles so they shouldn't be toooo hard to find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 As Steph says 0.500000000" or less to be a peewee. I have seen some pretty heated action from buyers that bought a marble that was supposed to be a peewee and it measured over 1/2" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 It's my understanding that a pewee (No. 000) would have to fit through a 1/2" hole so it could not be even a hair over 1/2". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lstmmrbls Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 As Steph says a lot of marbles were boxed as peewees that were over 1/2" but that means nothing in the collecting world. A lot of size sorting was done with 2 rods like a marble run than got slightly larger as the marbles rolled down. They dropped down to containers underneath as they rolled and fell through the widening rods, So there was a pretty big size variance it what actually got boxed. CACs are just kinda close(LOL) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Ding Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Ok, I got it. I thought it a fair question as I have observed apparently, some misapplication of that term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marboman Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 These are 1/2" and below. Pee-wees ARE hard to find ,but I love it when I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marboman Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 My pics are too big, putting them back in the box. Most of the pee-wees I have are cat-eyes. Some are Peltier some are Marble King and a few are handmade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sclsu Posted September 13, 2015 Report Share Posted September 13, 2015 Here are 3 pelt rainbo peewees, 2 are 13/32" and the "big" one is 7/16" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Ding Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 So I ran down some peewees that fit the strict, and only, definition. Turns out I've photographed only one of them so far...not sure, but taking this one as Alley, at 0.49". John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbobam Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Huh! Galen's mention of the '2 rods' was very interesting to me! Hadn't heard of that before. (My attorney has advised me to mention that any thoughts of mine that may have resulted from this new knowledge are not necessarily shared by him.) Since this technique would probably be the basis for stated 'manufacturers variation tolerances' or whatever you want to call that sort of thing, I'd personally want to make what I'd call a 'reasonable exception' for boxed or bagged marbles that are clearly labeled as 'peewees'. The 'intent' was there, and being a hair or two off doesn't change that. Of course there's nothing wrong if you want to say "Well sure that's a nice box of Pelt peewees! They just aren't really!" Question of semantics. Not a big deal. But I'd stick with '.5 or smaller' ninety-nine percent of the time. ( : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ima_ddicted Posted September 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Another pic of the two peewees in their orig. box. Some 5/8" marbles around it for comparison. https://scontent.fden3-1.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/270941_4288294331939_1486982750_n.jpg?oh=3d9995c3ecbcbb09d7ce202de14e4f63&oe=5665BE4D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikie_T Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 Here is my entire Pee Wee collection. They measure about 7/16 or a little less. The large marble is about 11/16" for scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted September 16, 2015 Report Share Posted September 16, 2015 I got a lot of peewees in my stocking in 1976 .... teeny tiny clearies. (And bigger clearies.) So pretty. I so wish I still had those. But I got some replacements which remind me of them. They _were_ in a jar on top of the entertainment center. A small clear flat-ish bottle for vanilla which showed them off nicely. But _apparently_ I put them in some other "safe" place. Gotta figure out what I did with 'em .......

Steph Posted September 17, 2015 Report Share Posted September 17, 2015 These are peewees. Randy blew my little mind when he included those in a mystery package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
