Steph Posted September 27, 2015 Report Share Posted September 27, 2015 I've been wanting to start a thread with George's posters but have been putting it off because, well, you know me and picture taking. But here's one I had in digital form. So I'll use it to launch the thread and hopefully will be able to take okay photos of his other posters later.

flyball Posted September 28, 2015 Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 No prob Steph. I had the opportunity to look through George's binders and saw a very unusual Peltier add for --- if I remember correctly -- Peltier "Smilies" . It was a green box with yellow marbles pictured on the face. Anyone know anything about these? I never saw this before and am quite curious..... THX!

Steph Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 When I look up Peltier Smilies I see something which was said to be a fantasy box from around the time of the Novas ... maybe? http://marbleconnection.com/topic/16969-peltier-smilies/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ann Posted September 30, 2015 Report Share Posted September 30, 2015 That's one of the three (fantasy) Pelt Smileys boxes that Art Jones made and sold a few years ago. He made a fourth one without the artwork on the box, which he kept for himself. But then he decided (wonderful man) to send it to me. I know where mine is, and I know where two of the three others are. But I don't know where the other one is, or if the person who has it knows what it is . . . If anyone wants the full story on where Art got the marbles, etc., say so and I can tell you . . . (but right now I have to go back to work . . .)

Steph Posted October 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2015 Next poster U. S. Marble Company Time Lines & Connections This one came with multiple parts, including a table listing who designed or built the machines for each company. Let's try out the gallery links to see how those work: Sorry my pictures are dark -- which you might not have noticed if I hadn't said. I need to learn how to use software to brighten them.

Steph Posted October 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 Need to take another picture of this one. The cats were curious so I went with the first shot. Settings need to be tweaked and I need to steady the camera. Enjoy anyway. Master Marble Company at the 1933-34 World's Fair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steph Posted October 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2015 I have an Akro poster yet to take a pic of. That might be my last one. I don't have a Vitro so I was really glad to see yours. Know about any others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyball Posted October 5, 2015 Report Share Posted October 5, 2015 I sure don't. I wish I had made a list when I saw them for sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
