Marbleized Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 I just got a bunch of marbles that included some peewees and wondered what is out there. What companies made them? Also is less than a ½ inch the definition of a peewee? Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marbleized Posted July 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Nice! When I think of peewees I think of cateyes. I have a couple of patches, but figured that there were some gorgeous ones out there. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al Oregon Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 To answer your question, a peewee has to be 1/2 inch in diameter or less. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted July 21, 2021 Report Share Posted July 21, 2021 Al is right, for those that collect Pee Wee's .50" (1/2") is the max. Half an inch or less to qualify, I misunderstood your statement as to post only .50 or less instead of interpreting it as a question, "Sorry about that" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marbleized Posted July 22, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2021 I was going to post some of mine but I need to measure them first. I think some are just a little over ½ an inch.🥴 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marbleized Posted November 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 So I put this quest for peewee pics and couldn't even produce one myself because I had learned that peewees have to be under a ½ inch. About 3 ½ months later... Tah Dah! Found one! Nothing fancy, but a peewee none the less. LOL Akro? .47". 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akroorka Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Great find!! Pee-Wee = 1/2" or under-----careful squeezing those calipers!! In my experience Pee-Wee marbles, regarding machine mades, show up most often with Peltiers and Master Made marbles. There are a few Akros--but very rare.(all pee-wees are rare) The hand-mades are more common than the machine mades. Clays and Benningtons more so. I have often thought that it had more to do with the sorting mecanisms employed in machine mades, rather that any intent on making these cute little orbs, with the exception of Peltier. Pelt seems to have some pee wees that just fit into this category with colors that are not seen in other sizes. Just speculation on my part---no proof or documentation that I have ever seen. I think that you may have an example of a Master Made pee-wee "Cloudy" Marble--On!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berryb Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Stephen Bahr has a video showing the Pelt pee-wee machine. Thanks Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted November 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Thanks Akroorka and Bruce! I was just guessing and thought that the seams looked kind of straight like an Akro. Master sounds good to me. I was just waiting for the "Jabo". LOL! I will definitely look at Stephen Bahr's video. I just watched the one on CACs. I had watched it before, but seems like things made more sense this second time around. Have a great MK Monday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave 13 Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 yes i heard the Vitro pee wee machine was not used tell at Jabo here is my machine made pee wee,s i’m thinking they are all Akro but feel free to correct me if you think they are another maker 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvrons Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Vitro ran the pee wee machine. But about all or maybe the only pee wees they produced were all clear or transparent single color pee wees. About all machine made companies made them. What they were used for or sold for, I am not sure. Vitro did not produce any numbers of pee wees that looked like any of their normal toy play marble production. Akro made patch pee wees. All the original Popeye box sets included one Akro pee wee patch in with the marble bag. Marble King made big numbers of pee wees. They made pee wees like normal rainbow style and colors. They also made big numbers of pee wee cat eyes. You can find original plastic bags of nothing but MK pee wee cat eyes. Alley made pee wee swirls, solids, clearies and the transparent single color ones. Champion made good numbers of pee wee swirls and even the furnace marbles. Ravenswood never made pee wees as normal production. I don't think they ever had a pee wee machine. Any that were made were errors. But they made big numbers of 9/16 inch. Heaton and Cairo Novelty both made pee wees. Heaton mostly clear or single color transparents. Cairo Novelty made good numbers of pee wee swirls and clear plus the usual single color transparent ones. Peltier made good numbers of pee wees. The Peltier pee wee machine belongs to and is at Sammy Hogue's house now. No pee wees by Jackson, Davis, Playrite, or Alox, CAC made 9/16 and I have seen a few pee wees. But they are rare and I am not sure CAC had a actual pee wee size machine ? Maybe they did or they may have been just undersize mistakes ? Jabo made good numbers of pee wees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleized Posted November 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Wow, so much great information! I have a bunch of small patch marbles that look like Akro or Master but none of them meet the size requirement. But now that I think about it, I do have a couple of deep aqua blue clearies that fit the bill. Just never really gave them much thought. Thanks WVRons!

Nantucketdink Posted November 26, 2021 Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 My bag of Vitro peewees. All plain white game marbles. They are small like under 3/8”. Fun bag 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
