Someone sent me an email asking if I had any pictures of Peltier "Windshield" marbles. While I was searching for them, it occurred to me that I should go ahead and post them here. That way, the next time I want to look at them...............I can just find them here. Laughing

I don't recall all the details regarding the history of these marbles. It seems that someone on the boards acquired some from a factory worker and posted pictures of them. I am not sure if the first 3 pics below are from that post.

If anyone has any information regarding these, feel free to post here and share it. Thanks!

Click pics below to see larger views!

These pics were posted by someone named dug_marble on Lou's and I believe he said that they were from the factory worker...........maybe via ebay?

This one was posted by Charles (moremarbles4me).

These were posted by Rick (fire81).

Just a sidenote: These are not what some call Peltier "Window" marbles. That is a whole 'nother ballgame. hehe

Here's what I thought they were.... kinda hard to get a good pic of what's going on, but you can see to the far side through the opening.

The marbles in Lizzy's pictures are in fact Peltier Windsheild marbles. All of those marbles came out of the same coffee can from a factory worker who had liberated them from the plant. The factory workers are the ones that named them. Since I posted my pictures years ago it seems everything is a Windsheild marble. LOL

Thanks for the history lesson Charles.... if I would have been into marbles years ago when you posted your pics, I probably wouldn't have made this mistake. Wink

Bob, my comment was'nt directed at you in any way shape or form just kind of a general statement.

I have been told that this is a Peltier 'windshield'. It is 25/32", and I have been told 'windshields" are all supposed to be that larger size. I have a green transparent one that is very similaar (also 25/32"). ... Roger

No problem Charles... Art Jones and I were discussing this one awhile back, and he said some call this type a windshield mib. Damn name games! LOL I think I'm going to join Galens' club.
