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 ??

akroorka Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 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 !! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great idea Ric, Tator Lady does sound a bit "dowdy". I do not know if "Lady Tator" shouts "refined". 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!!
