akroorka Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 The salesmens cases that I have seen do not list anything under 9/16". That being said--the Popeye boxes that we are all familiar with did include one "peewee" patch. It was placed on top of the pouch in the original sale. I believe that it was called a swee-pea by collectors named after Popeyes little adopted son. If Akro made 9/16" marbles there are bound to be a few that are smaller, just a result of the marble making process. Of the older companies, Peltier is the only one that I know of that actually produced peewee marbles. Marble--On!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have old peewees by Alley, Champion, Ravenswood, Heaton, Cairo, Akro, Pelt, and others. Just sharing some peewee info 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had several different 5/8” rollers that were used over the years and only know for sure what was used in 91. In 2011 and 2012 they used the Vitro peewee rollers to make a few runs of weewee sized peewees. I do not believe JABO used a Pelt set of peewee rollers to run marbles ever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
