Thanks! I've never ran across one with a character on it. Was this common?

Yea, This little farm dump has really been awesome for how tiny it was. The best thing was an 1862 Gallagher carbine {minus stock and lockplate} lots of smalls and even 1930's valentines kids cards unchewed and in decent shape! Just think about how many little farm dumps like this pocket the country. I've found a few other marbles in this dump. I'll post them, as marbles I know little about. Thanks Guys

I am sure Cheese will hop on and share his knowledge of the Peltier cartoon character marbles. In the meantime, I thot I'd give you this site: MARBLEALAN.COM to browse if you wanted to do a little additional reading on them. (Enter into the Identification Guide and scroll down until you see Peltier Glass Company. There is a brief paragraph on Peerless Patches and Character Marbles).

I only have one of them in my collection of Pelts - Sandy, and it is much weaker than yours and on the more common white base. I found mine in the "wild" too (tho not as "wild" as your find!!). It was in a ziplock bag of Japanese cross-thru cat eyes that I purchased from a tiny thrift shop. There I was poking thru the cat's and out rolls this one. I was quite surprised and it just goes to show you never know where they will be discovered.

Would love to see what other marbles you have unearthed.
