This is a Peltier comic picture marble with the image of 1920s comic-strip charactor HERBIE on a white marble with a black patch with moderately heavy aventurine. The thickness of a thin hair under 11/16" but over 43/64".
CONDITION: MINT(-) 9.2 The marble has seen no play or wear and there are no scratches, pinpricks, cracks, or bruises, but there are typical Peltier as-made anomolies. There are some faint 'touch' marks of some kind that looks like the result of too hot aventurine and/or excess graphite. There are also a couple of tiny open air bubbles. Everything I can find is clearly as-made and is well documented in the pictures. You may click here to view the grading system I use. | |||||
