Peltier Glass Company Marbles
The Peltier Glass Company was founded in 1886 under the name The Novelty Glass Company by Victor Peltier. The name was changed to the Peltier Glass Company in 1919 and they began producing marbles in the 1920s up until the 1970s. The company is still in operation in Ottawa, Illinois, but they no longer produce playing marbles.
Peltier marbles are treasured by many marble collectors for their colorful variety and beauty. Their ribbons and seams are easily recognized. Their National Line Rainbo series consists of many styles each appropriately nicknamed after their appearance, such as Superboy, Flaming Dragon, Zebra, Golden Rebel and many more. They also produced comic strip logo marbles that are highly collectible. A rare mint Peltier marble can fetch more than $250, and certain rarities like the Golden Rebel can approach $1,000.
