Chad G. Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Some "marble related" pinback characters, most from "Syndicated Press Comics" made by Kellogs in the 40's, 95% of these are Peltier comic marble related, the Superman is Akro related as well. Superman, guess he could be Pelt or Akro related ?? Anyway all round & all marble related, even the size is !! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad G. Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 A keepsake pinback from my Childhood hometown (7 miles away) back then the main event was beer pitcher races between bars w/ everyone on the sidewalk cheering the participants on "if they made it to the finish" there's a reason it was called "Rainier Daze" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda wish mine didn't have the frosted glass, but it is cool looking into the little window 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berryb Posted February 3, 2022 Report Share Posted February 3, 2022 This globe qualifies as "anything round". Even if the south pole is flat. Thanks Bruce 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdesousa Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Any idea what this was made for? There's a hard glossy coating with an interesting mosaic design on what seems to be a 5/8" glass marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 This is really interesting, Hansel - not sure I've ever seen such an application on a glass marble - a low temperature fire for decoration? 16 minutes ago, hdesousa said: Any idea what this was made for?
