Kitten's eye teeny eeny weeny litter...

Recommended Posts

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--

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.

Thank you Akroorka. I appreciate your words. 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

I really enjoy finding the oddities in life, and marbles. My two “kitten eyes” check in at 10.72 and 10.76 the big black one at 13. IMG_2181.thumb.jpeg.6de9e46186ecbfbb644c655294b16ec6.jpeg

Those are really great! Your 'kittens' are the only others I have ever seen in this diminutive size!  Very nice! The darker one-- please share any information. It looks intriguing!

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”IMG_2187.thumb.jpeg.c4f554aeba157b3e72368949aa175309.jpegIMG_2184.thumb.jpeg.b28f4329858987efb2f1476f1ef678bf.jpegIMG_2190.thumb.jpeg.114e5242a49e02b01ebc569a9f2f7f86.jpeg floating around too.

Great looking peewee! 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!

Well, I found em. I had more than I thought!  Pics incoming. PLEASE let me know if you need better light/pics/etc!!!  IMG_2280.thumb.jpeg.99003812bb5ed48c0ced314d1bc44b54.jpegIMG_2281.thumb.jpeg.75ecc4f3a4f7d104d36a161f90f73dd1.jpegIMG_2282.thumb.jpeg.dfc9e1559d086334261978618de4c5a0.jpegIMG_2283.thumb.jpeg.bccda1e16d39eb2bdd3fd9c04344922c.jpegIMG_2292.thumb.jpeg.be03a659d5f7c38d13c59805e79828fd.jpegIMG_2293.thumb.jpeg.c4e60d22c05ed66efc70fc9eed248a6e.jpeg
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.

WoW!! You have the whole pet store of kittens!!! They are beautiful! 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!

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".

Looks blurry but great! Djp5690- how small is this mauve treasure?

That one is 4.9550.  I forgot to mention. Occasionally , you’ll get a batch that has some glowers!!!!!IMG_2297.thumb.jpeg.36a3a39adf45279c3d418579147e03ad.jpeg   
 

of course, when that happens, someone always has to show up to steal the spot light!

 

thanks for asking about these!  I was SHOCKED to find this one!!!

Those are fantastic! The UV glow increases the value! Those little guys are worth a pretty penny! Keep those in your special stash. Something tells me that you have a hoard of gems any dragon would be proud to guard

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 IMG_2304.thumb.png.a5490fdc0927ba18703cd56a36d4bb42.png

 

i couldn’t help but to include some of my favs. IMG_2255.thumb.jpeg.fc62fcdc8705158d5a2cb3c261a8c035.jpeg

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. Good luck finding initials 🔥

LOL! Don't let your kittens get away! It would be very special to see them separately. If it is too much of a chore, then I can patiently wait until next year to see your abundant litter.😄😍😊
