Peltier Honey - Amber Bananas

Hello hickzuk and a most hardy “Welcome” to The Marble Connection,
You may have one---the bottom one. The rest are just—not what you think they are probably foreign made marbles.
More images are needed of the bottom one.
Great research on your part! 
And nice marbles as well.
Marble—On!!

Thank you :) and thank you for getting back to me , the info i can find on these is limited tbh i have joined a number of facebook marble groups including some peltier ones , some have said that the coloured glass cats eyes are hard to find , some mentioned the nova run root bear float, just a bit confusing when so many marbles look the same lol hope the extra photos help and thanks for helping

I would be inclined to your yellow banana in amber glass being right, except for one thing - the Peltier Honey Amber cat has unusually flawless glass - no bubbles, no small debris, and your example seems to have some small bubbles. I could be wrong - there are exceptions to everything. Maybe the few others who have the Honey Amber will chime in.

I would agree that most of the bananas i see have almost perfect glass even the non coloured versions but i have seen a few that are labbled as amber bananas that seem to be like mine , but i know very little so makes it harder to say either way , thanks for your input

Here's a mysterious marble. Such a pretty one yet so few are known.

Joe McDonough discovered them in about 1989, in an auction for the family of a man who was said to work for Peltier before he moved to New Jersey. A total of 119 of the amber ones came with jars full of other colored bananas and colored clearies. Most of the ambers were mint. Some had a substance like melted rubber on them. There was one peewee in the lot.

There seems no doubt that they are Peltier. Many notables including Alan Basinet weighed in when Joe was trying to confirm.

I just marvel that there are so few when it's such a wonderful marble. How many might they have made? Where could they be hiding?

This one is mine. :) :)

And then here are some more. Joe's friend took this first picture and then the attached pics are earlier photos of the find. On Kodak paper. :)
