Marble King was founded in 1949 by Berry Pink and Sellers Peltier and was originally located in St. Marys, West
Virginia but due to a 1958 fire that destroyed that facility they then moved to to Paden City (pop. 2,683) where it
remains today.
Inside the one-story brick factory, workers dump a container full of recycled glass into a 2,350-degree, gas-fired furnace every 20 minutes, producing a continuous stream of molten glass. Propelled by gravity, the red-hot liquid flows through a channel inside the furnace and is cut into sections that are formed into smooth, spherical shapes.
Every day, Marble King uses more than 4 tons of mostly recycled glass to produce about a million marbles in 300 different sizes, types, and colors—everything from crystal green cat’s eyes to periwinkle marine crystal marbles.
