ann Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Some nice stuff. But they're still calling a ground-pontil German marble a "Leighton." Grrrrr . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romanoak Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Ann Frustrating as that may be they could call them transitions . There are probably more who know exactly what marble they are describing based on "Leighton" than those who are confused by the terminology. Combine the old school who have used that term for single ground pontil marbles for years and those who now use the term for melted pontil marbles from Ohio but know the history of the changes of marble nomenclature.

lstmmrbls Posted May 6, 2015 Report Share Posted May 6, 2015 Its time they changed their nomenclature. It really isn't that hard. LIke Ann, it bugs the heck out of me. And if they call them transitions I might explode. Early Handgathered Ground Pontil German marbles pretty much says it all and even a knucklehead like myself can understand that description. Does anyone think 1111 is old? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
