J_Ding Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 I think half the fun of collecting marbles is finding those examples, common or valuable or not, that just come together in unexpected and interesting, and uncommon ways. This one looks different from all sorts of angles. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 The first two look very different - I'd never have guessed it was the same marble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Three beyond filthy Champion Jr bags turned up. I'm guessing they've been kept in a shed or very dusty attic. This is after giving them a gentle brush with a soft paintbrush trying to clean up the one with the intact label with a damp cloth: I shall keep the one on the left intact, but don't feel any guilt about opening the other two.

ManofKent Posted May 28, 2016 Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 More Peltiers - Catseyes, but sadly we have no bananas... All four vane and staying sealed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted May 28, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2016 Just for the record, I note these are Marble Kings. Glad to see them in the thread though -- it's good to have the examples of the cross-over packaging. Close relationship between the Peltier owners and Berry Pink of Marble King.

Thanks - I don't have any marble king bags to compare to and I'm struggling to tell 4 vanes apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Ding Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Those Pelt red slags are pretty enough. I don't see too many of these; I'd say a few condition issues is just fine in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some is handling/play but there are a few as made surface bubbles that in my limited experience seem quite common with Pelts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManofKent Posted June 2, 2016 Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 A pair of Pelts (just nameless tri-colour rainbos I think): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted June 2, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2016 It's not too hard to see why Peltier stayed successful in the marble business for decades. Their "plain" marbles made with the less expensive glass are still very pretty. Also, I agree, I'm not aware of that one having a name. I think that some people lump them in with Champion Jrs. but I think that's a very small segment of marbledom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - in my very limited experience they're frequently quite crude, frequently have surface flaws but almost always attractive and 'fun'. I don't like the Champion Jr name as a descriptor. 1 hour ago, ann said: "Just" another plain ole Pelt . . . Lovely! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
