Hi thx for your input👍 I though maybe the ones with orange had a name but maybe I’m thinking of a different mib with similar colours thx 

 

If you were thinking of Alley Carnivals, yes, Black, red, and green are the same colors but I don't think those are carnivals or Alley, they are nice marbles and whoever outbid you I bet was banking on Carnivals not pistachios.

They almost look like pelt NLR fruit cocktails of some sort, but I can’t really tell from the photos .

I think all the fruit cocktail's (salad) and similar pelts have a transparent clear base, I can't really tell if the base is trans or opaque in those pix ??  I looked again and what looks like a black appears to have some clear in it ?? I wish there were some individual pix w/ multiple views for a more concise ID ??

Here is my best WVS--imho.
In honor of @wvrons and all of the folks that were or will be digging in West Virginia, what a great passion along with endless, thoughtless sharing for sure. What a great service you have all supplied to the marble collecting community.
I appreciate all of your efforts and the info that you have shared.
I really dig the names that you “digger” folks come up with.
This one just makes me wiggle a bit—I just love the name—the marble is not too shabby either.
Lady Tator—really?? Who else but the “Kings/ Queens” of Diggers” could come up with this name?
I love it—just love it.
Thanks to you all!!
WVS on!!
Marble—On !!

I can tell a little story about this type. When Ron, Bill and I were naming these. Ron and Bill first suggested that we call it a Tater Lady. I said, "that name sounds a little dowdy, let's switch it up, 'Lady Tater' sounds much more refined", and that is the name we went with.

Great idea Ric, Tator Lady does sound a bit "dowdy". I do not know if "Lady Tator" shouts "refined":ROFL:. I sure do like the name though. I am glad to hear that you had a part in this.

There are many named marbles, this is the best name ever imho and by far one of the best Alley Agates that I have ever held.

Thanks for all that you do/have done.

Marble--On!!
