treetiger Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Here are all of my peewees for help with ID. The dark blue with pits and black streaks 13mm. The clearie is the smallest at 9 mm. 'Kitten's eye' is 13mm, and the could be (MK?) is also 13mm. The light Amber, and slightly darker amber and the 'crackle glass are all 14mm. You never know how valued these little guys are until you temporarily loose one from 'the litter of babies'! Thanks and best wishes-- 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the fact that you have taken the time to measure these marbles and respect them for what they are. The top image shows what I think is an Asian type on the left. It probably came in an Imperial set of marbles. The Imperial company was a jobber-or reseller of marbles on the west coast that purchased marbles from a variety of Asian makers, repackaged them and sold them in the USA market The third one in is more than likely a Vacor from Mexico, they made a bunch of pee-wee marbles. You seem to like the "crackle glass" one. Kids used to cook these in a frying pan filled with water until they cracked up. They were also marked as such, I cannot remember by who. The value with these marbles is with the owner/collector/finder only—straight up. If you like em—collect-em, just do not pay much for-em. No one here will ever blame you for that. The rest of what you show are not identifiable and common. Blunt it is, but I deal with truth. Marble—On--- my marble collecting friend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that they are not worth much but that is okay. I can't remember how or when they showed up in my collection. I love them just the same. The kitten's eye did have me wondering though. It's the only one I have ever seen that small. Vacor?--cool! Thanks again and best wishes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djp5690 Posted December 12, 2023 Report Share Posted December 12, 2023 It was sold to me as a “Latter Era 1/2" Wet Mint (-) Champion Agate Furnace Peewee Marble”. Looks to have a deep red base? Lots of stuff going on in the right light. I’m literally just starting my marble so everything I have might be something cool, or cheap junk I got fleeced on. 😂 Teo others I got at the same time/seller were sold as JABO neon nightfall. They were juuuuust over a half inch. If I recall, most of my tiny marbles came from him. I know I have a couple more “kittens” floating around too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very much a beginner as well. I just buy what I like ...and what I can afford. My trouble is that 'everything looks soooo pretty'! Probably my only saving grace is studying, dedicating a loose leaf binder to keep my notes and classifications (old school here), and keeping a lot of online folders with pics of what I see marble wise. I still need to get some good books too. Thanks for sharing this tiny treasure! If you find the other kittens please take pics of them to share. I would love to see them!

Djp5690 Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 Well, I found em. I had more than I thought! Pics incoming. PLEASE let me know if you need better light/pics/etc!!! this appears to be some sort of makers mark? Maybe a crown? Or maybe the sun rising over a hill? I don’t know. It’s weird and I’ve never seen it. well, I won’t say that’s all of them because it’s certainly not. But it’s most of the varieties I have. At some point I sleep thought like four bags of 80 mini JABO’s.I’m still going through them. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 i think there are two poorly done shear marks on either side of this marble. It looks most like a Japanese game marble too me, a "purie or clearie". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In one of the antique stores that I haunt, I saw a bag of nine' kittens' that was quite pricey! These are every bit as valuable! Well done! I'm sure that they have a very good home to live in! Now we just have to find out what "breeds" they all are---lol! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djp5690 Posted December 13, 2023 Report Share Posted December 13, 2023 ha! Many thanks I just buy what I like my trove is small, but growing! I have a feeling we are in the company of greatness, though! I’m willing to bet some of these folks have ROOMS for their marbles. I have a couple shelves Also (it may be too late) Pro Tip: do NOT tell friends/family/loved ones, co-workers for secret Santa… basically ANYONE that might give you a gift, that you’ve started a marble collection. It’s not that people will laugh or make fun of you. I encourage those things regularly. It’s because You’ll be certain to get a a couple of the “starter packs”, or maybe some “civil war era” marbles. As the years go by, you’ll get various wall hangings, t-shirts, socks, books (usually REALLY bad books), paper weights. There will be puns, too, I’m sure. You make it easier for people to shop for you, but you start ending up with a lot of repeats! Here I am complaining about gifts Jeez #first world problems. At any rate, I think people have always loved wee tiny marbles! I found this and wanted to share i couldn’t help but to include some of my favs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire1981 Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Separate pics? Not a chance ! I tried that and getting them back in the bottle was insane. The MK Purple/Black Peewee Cats Eye is another example of how small they are. The lady that made these last name is either Hopper or Hooper.
