Mr Meteorite Posted June 5, 2018 Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 I found these 2 while digging the Peltier factory in ottawa, Illinois. When I found them I figured they were something other than a mib. However I have read and been told that Peltier did make 5/16" marbles. Then in the past week I've seen 2 of these in 2 different lots. These seem quite small, were these used playing marbles? I'm guessing these are pretty common and have veritable monetary value, however it has value to me, being that I found one each day I dug at the old Peltier factory. Did they make many different marbles in this small size? If so, does anyone have any pics of different 5/16 pelts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Meteorite Posted June 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2018 You can't really tell good from these photos , but the one in first 3 pics have a very light colored ribbon on each side like a typical rainbo. It's hard to tell for sure, but it looks to be a yellowish/white or a sorr of greenish/yellow on both sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 If you back your camera up a bit - it should come into focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I tried to figure out how common 5/16" pelts were. Didn't find it. Best I can do is bump it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
