Alright, I recognize those calipers, a hair over 1/2", thank you Melissa. If you do end up using your other calipers, or ever need it here's a conversion chart link for you. Again, "Thank you" for the nice clear crisp pix

Anyone know why marbleheads don’t use millimeters?  Seems the easier form of measurement.  I collect trade beads and they are all measured in millimeters by collectors. 

because many of us are hard headed Americans using our ancient measuring system.

That is pretty cool Ric.

I have never seen these in a bag before. A new search term for me--"Penny King".

Thanks for sharing it!!

Marble--On!!

UV light as well.

Ummm... yeah. Get a really nice one. Do a search for "Green Fizz" on this marble board and it will become very apparent.

I agree Champion. Alley also made some white base with blue and wide silver metallic.  Some can be very hard to separate from Champions. Champion made the most white base, blue and silver metallic marbles. They produced them on purpose.  Champion and Jabo were the only two machine made companies to produce metallics on purpose.  Penny King is a Jobber who filled bags with different companies marbles.  What ever was cheapest and available at the time.

Some Penny King bags for reference.
