Berry Pink and Sellers Peltier founded Marble King in 1949. Today, Marble King produces more than one million toy, game, decorative, collectible, and industrial marbles every day, 365 days per year! Marble King has been a contributing sponsor and supporter of The National Marble Tournament since 1968. A college scholarship is awarded each year at the tournament, compliments of Marble King. Today, Marble King is one of only a few remaining American marble manufacturers. In fact, Marble King was featured on John Ratzenberger's "Made in America" TV Show on the Travel Channel! |

Marble King even manufacturers marbles that glow under an ultraviolet (black) light!
Although Marble King now recycles glass into its marbles,
the original silos containing the three main components of glass "batch" raw materials still exist.
Most glass today is 70% sand (silica), 15% soda (sodium oxide), and 9% lime (calcium oxide).
The remaining 6% varies based on the glass color desired.
