Bumble Bee Looking Small Marble
Months ago I found a small (glass?) marble that resembles a Peltier Glass Marble~Hybrid Rainbo~Cub Scout/Bumble Bee (this I took from the Internet for I saw one similar to it). I'm not really into marbles and don't know anything about them. I just played with them when I was a kid and had many of them. If anyone in the forum is familiar with this type of marble, a word or two would be greatly appreciated. I put my other marble found for size comparison, which I was told is a Peltier rainbo, circa late 1930s-40s

Looking just at the one end shown, it looks a bit like a Vacor/Mega to me. I don't know what size it is... guessing 3/8" to 1/2"? Vacor did make peewees.

The Vacor/Mega one is about 7/16" . I would not say it made the 1/2" mark, The Peltier Rainbo is 5/8"

Here they are? I wonder about the value, if any, of these two marbles.

Ok, I'm changing my vote to peltier on this one as well. Not much as far as value. One tiny reflection of a hit so small they call it a flea bite can ruin the value of a marble. These are common marbles, probably worth less than $1 each. Take a look at joesmarbles.com for picture of marbles from different manufacturers if you want a good place to start getting a feel for telling what marbles came from where.

Thanks again. I post them to learn for I don't know anything about marbles. I just played with them when I was kid.
