Steph Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Darla has a Leopard and some other "interesting" akros. Like a totally whacked out Indian Blanket. Is the Leopard a positive sign that she got her hands on at least one dug marble? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo444 Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 There is no Akro "Leopard". That name has never been associtated with ANY machine made marble I am aware of. Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steph Posted October 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Darla, as you may have already seen by now, these are examples of Leopards: Posted by Ronnie here, Can Anyone Id This Akro Agate Marble. His were dug. In that thread, Dani explains that was actually her husband who named them ... 20 years ago. In post #3 there Derrick linked to an old thread of Lizzy's where she had posted another dug example. That thread is gone, but here are the thumbnails she posted. Her base looked pretty light in those pix. Yours is a medium to light greenish. Bottle green might be a good term for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bo444 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 So a few folks call it a "leopard" and EVERYONE else calls them patches Gee I think i'll RENAME them "Yellow dugger's". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akro gatherer Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 I must check on this for myself because I haven't heard the name. Of course I am not an expert but If I had dug up a leopard I would have run from it. :Emoticon-jawdrop: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaboo Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 So a few folks call it a "leopard" and EVERYONE else calls them patchesGee I think i'll RENAME them "Yellow dugger's". ok bo. hubby wants to know who's EVERYONE he wants names. he said he called them that years ago because they have spots. If EVERYONE thinks thats a bad name he won't call them that anymore. But EVERYONE knows a leopard doesn't change it's spots/ BUT, until recently I had never heard of a 'parrotlet' or a 'superteen' among others, but I dont see any contraversy over that. NOW lets look at the peltier names??? (lets not even start there ok?) yep there's company names for marbles and there's collectors names for marbles. and as far as Akro calling them leopards, no they never did. and personally Bo, I love ya like a brother. is there an 'official' list of approved marble names? whos in charge of that?

Steph Posted October 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 yes they're a dug marble, and most are fluorescent. p.s., yes, Darla's is slightly fluorescent. If you look at it next to a popeye you might miss the glow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo444 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 My point exactly Dani. What the crap is a "parrotlet" & "Superteen" LOL!!! I want to know who comes up with these names !!! If its in a book, I will accept it. If you hear it from a few different sources, it generally becomes tagged to that color combo however....... Since there is no list, anyone can name them whatever they want and those of us who dont keep up are lost. (nothing new for me on that, been lost a long time, obviously I still am) :rol: The names for some of the newer jabo's for instance. I dont collect new machine made marbles so I will NEVER recognize them. LOL!!!!! ok Steph, here's something else for you to keep tabs on. New or obscure names.... WITH PICTURES!! Galen wtf is NHA ? Do I want to know ? hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCSFA86 Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Folks: I vote that we appoint Steph as the President of the NTM (Name That Marble) Association with Bo as the Vice President responsible for screening all names and pictures to assure they meet the high standards already established within the hobby and Zaboo as the reviewer of all proposed names to assure no duplications. With this structure in place we can be assured that the hobby will re-frame from any more silly names that appear to have flooded the hobby over the past several years, lol. Bill BTW I am appointing my-self as the designated smart @$$ of the hobby incharge of reading and adding worthless responses to any post associated with marble names, lol.

Scoop Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 If its in a book, I will accept it. Oh Crap, Bo... Don't fall for THAT one!!! That's where all my generation lost their cred to a new bunch, who thought they knew it all and still profess to, cuz they conned people into believing they were experts and got someone to publish it!!! Now, those of us who "Used" to know stuff, don't know "$hit" and there's print to PROVE it!!! :icon_lmao: What's an End-of-Day??? How many colors have to be in a Joseph's Coat?? Can a cloud have 2 pontils?? After about 30 years of "Thinking" I knew what I was doing, I learned (from a guy no one knew "Who the hell is that?? Stan's kid??") all I knew was wrong..... Yep, I read it in his book!!! :Sad_headshake_tweetz: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted October 13, 2008 Report Share Posted October 13, 2008 They look to me like patches from a beginning or end of run that are missing a second major color component. Personally I wouldn't give them a seperate name as if they were a discrete production item....they appear to have been discarded because one glass color pot wasn't flowing.
