Formerly relegated to their assignment as jar marbles, these Peltier MCS have in the last few years taken a new position as highly collectable, especially among the younger, and perhaps wiser, newer members of the marble collecting community. The Peltier Glass Company's earliest ventures into the marble making world, circa 1920s-30s, began with the highly controversial MILLER machine, named for it's inventor/designer: William Miller. Along with the quite interesting historical value, the marbles produced on this machine had a quite eclectic, yet distinct, variety of patterns when compared to the later Peltier NLR machines and the Akro Agate corkscrews.
This example, made with red, white, and robin's-egg blue ribbons on and in a transparent coke-bottle green base glass, has one of the finest patterns I have seen, and is archetypical of the MILLER design.
