IowaMarble Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 Now that is exciting! Can't wait to see what comes of it. Will the rollers need to be reconditioned to any extent before you can use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

migbar Posted February 10, 2016 Report Share Posted February 10, 2016 This Miller marble machine, serial number 1399, shown above, was one of the first four marble machines bought by Peltier. They called it marble machine number one. It made marbles in the 7/8" to one inch size. Here it is as first bought, before many modifications... and this is it at Peltier in 2002...

akronmarbles Posted February 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2016 The forming rolls should be good to go. The machine also includes the original W.J. Miller pneumatic gob shear. It has been altered to be foot activated. I will probably not be able to make much progress till after school is out in May.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
