Marbleneophyte Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I bought a marble solitaire game today. It came with 33 of the white & red marbles like the ones below. They kind of look like Peltiers but the glass doesn't seem right. There are some roll marks and some divots near the seams. When back lit the base is translucent. They measure 11/16. Figure 8's maybe?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad G. Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Agree with figure eight's, not Pelt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleneophyte Posted December 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Thanks Chad. They're attractive marbles but a lower quality for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'llhavethat1 Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Don't look like pelts and agree on foreign, any pics of the board? Sounds interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marbleneophyte Posted December 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Here are some pics of the game. Box lid is a bit rough. Instructions refer to "balls" and not "marbles." Could be the marbles are not original to the set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mojo Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 Google Glevum Solitaire You get loads of info about manufacturer and examples 😄👍 Nice vintage board and i think the marbles are original , they made more with "Foreign" marbles , real nice because the marbles they used are vintage or antique then aswell 😉👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheese Posted December 17, 2021 Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 There has been a lot more information coming to light about Yasuda and other Japanese marble companies lately, thanks to a new collector over there who has been doing some research and legwork.
