FISHSLAYERMARRBLEGRIFF Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A LIST OF NAMES(AND PHOTO'S,IF POSSIBLE) OF MARBLES,THAT ARE NOT "FACTORY" NAMED.YOU KNOW THE ONES,EITHER NAMED IN A BOOK,OR BY THE MARBLE COMMUNITY,ECT.,,,,,,,.I WOULD IMAGINE THERE ARE LESS,ORIGINALY,(FACTORY),NAMED MARBLES. LETS TRY NOT TO ARGUE ABOUT EACH OTHERS OPINION ON A NAME.,AND YES, ITS OK IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE NAME FOR THE SAME MARBLE,OR THE SAME NAME FOR DIFFERENT MANUFACTURES MARBLES.-------------GRIFF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1DanS Posted February 6, 2007 Report Share Posted February 6, 2007 Very interesting "?". The Akro Agate Co may have been the King at naming their marbles. So riddle me this, why didn't they put a name to one of their most beautiful marbles, or did they? Un-Named?? thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'llhavethat1 Posted February 7, 2007 Report Share Posted February 7, 2007 Very interesting "?". The Akro Agate Co may have been the King at naming their marbles. So riddle me this, why didn't put a name to one of their most beautiful marbles, or did they?Un-Named?? thanks. Good question, maybe because some of their most "beautiful marbles" weren't run consistantly and just a coincidence of combo's and patterns between batches compared to the more mass produced ones that they did name? I suppose this could be said for most manufacturers since the patterns and combo's can vary so much (think 3-D). I especially like that 5th one down, but they're all sharp.

1DanS Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Weren't some of those Imperials Dan? Peace,Galen I have seen one Imperial box, from a very well known collector, which did contain Oxbloods. If I can remember right, and that can be tuff for me to do anymore, it had two rows of silvers and a row each of lemons, limes, and blues. thanks.

CallBob Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Hi : While Bob Block was visiting my room at the marlborough (i can't spell marlboro) Show by ( my cuz ) Bert Cohen ...he overheard me calling some of my new 7/8 " finds as " Parrot " marbles and asked me why i was calling them that . I told him that the reds,greens,yellows and blend of colors reminded me of exotic parrots i have seen in books and on tv .That was it ..from then on Bob started describing them as Parrots ......But i see that certain marble collectors have taken things out of control with what a parrot actually looks like !

Dfay1983 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 This thread is OLD. Had Gino Biffany came up with the term " Tracer" when this started? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 I'm a gonna guess yes, since I remember the name "forever" and my "forever" goes back to just a little bit earlier than this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
