Did someone re-register the Akro logo this year?

Filing date 1/28/2013 ????

How would that be allowed? What does it mean? Someone would have the legal right to make reproduction packaging ... and would be the only one with that right?

Would someone please pass the magnifying glass?

Akro Agate Prize Contest

Prizes will be awarded for the 10 best slogans expressing the quality and beauty of Akro Agates---why boys and girls prefer them, etc.

Contest was announced at least by November 1930.

Slogans must be 10 words or less to be considered. Hurry. Contest closes on May 1, 1931. Neatness counts.

Like any of these?

Quite.

Got some "peanut satay sauce" from the Thai store around the corner. Don't know if it's the "right" sauce. Haven't had it enough over the decades. But gonna try it now. Hopefully it will turn my breaded chicken strips into something exotic, eh?

Secretly I know they're wrong.

Hmmmm .... somehow I don't think that made the top 5.

I have a 1931 list of prizewinners for the Akro Slogan Contest -- the names of the boys and girls, not the actual winning slogans.

I don't remember seeing anything showing the terms of the contest. Anyone know about that?

So much color. Is any of that from blacklight?

But what does anatidaephobia mean?

I don't mind if someone reports me for hijacking this thread.

Oh no! Now I'm alarmed! lol

Thanks, Al!

Yep, that zoom helps a lot. Third try: 22050 points. And I made wild guesses on the last two coz I got impatient. Got the right continent on those at least.

Sorry, I don't hate you yet. It's still fun.

I just noticed that there is a zoom on the panel where you make your guesses. That's going to help a lot scorewise, though it was sort of fun to try to find Polish and Canadian towns on the big map without seeing any boundaries.

I think the word is "perseverate".

I can bump the thread with a little ad for marbles in the "Sunset" line. Somewhere I also have a story of them being given away as a tournament prize.

Oh, are simple rainbos welcome? Fizzy 7-ups.

Well, I don't have any. I can't even picture what you mean. What would a Missouri package look like?

ZOMG @ the silver surfer!

Looks like a fabulous box -- Sunset Line. The picture is little though.

Are those tri-colors on the top?

Edit: Thanks for the bigger pic. Not tri-colors after all. Amazing box.

I'm not familiar with the song. I found this on youtube. A poem ... is that the one?

Nice button.

I don't get the subject. *whoosh over my head*

I cleared the path for you.

Okay, I see the description now. We're supposed to be looking at "bands/threads". All I saw was a dusting of sparkle over the top of the middle pic. *oops*

Are we looking at the same features on Dan's marble?

I'm looking at what seems like a mist of very fine glitter.
