I have seen that sort of mottling on a variety of Alley marbles. I don't think I would call it a "trait" necessarily because some marbles of a particular type will have it and others will not. And it seems more likely the result of glass chemistry than something the rolls would produce.
-
I agree it's pretty cool looking - reminds me a bit of the "abalone" on some dug mibs - maybe an odd dug Pelt?
-
It looks JABO to me too - sort of a Jorkscrew.
-
I like the way the colors shifted to leave the white base showing - almost like an extra white ribbon - nice size too.
-
Those are interesting, Jeff. Are there only two ribbons of color on each?
-
They are not Vitro and the only similar Akro swirls I have seen are dug - they didn't make any swirls like this as part of normal production. What size are they? My first guess would be Cairo.
-
I think it may be a JABO too - no remelting involved.
-
The upper left looks like a creased pontil transitional to me - maybe Yasuda from Japan. The top right one is not ringing any bells for me - not much to go on.
-
All Reds are one of Vitros most common types of marbles. They are white-based with polar patches, one of which is always red. The older style Black Line All Reds have a "black" equatorial ribbon between the patches.
-
The left two look Vitro - not much to go on with the right one, though.
-
Pelt on the left, and most likely on the right too.
-
Not sure about Vitro on the left - different views might help.
-
Nice Vitros, Joep - Yellow Jackets are certainly less common than Blackies, All Reds, Whities, etc., so it's not too surprising that you don't have many.
-
To me, it looks like metallic debris of some sort.
-
Happy to hear it was a good show and that you enjoyed it - looks like you found some nice marbles!
-
Single color swirls can be tough to ID accurately, especially if they have a simple pattern. Having said that, I would guess Alley on top and Heaton on the bottom. The patches look mostly Peltier to me.

I think JABO for the first but I am not entirely sure and I would say Marble King for the second one.
-
What makes you think Peltier for these two? Are they dug?
-
The upper left one does look like a Peltier Banana. The lower right is a transparent swirl (not a Cat's Eye). The rest are foreign Cat's Eyes, IMO. The Peltier and the transparent swirl appear to be vintage and some of the foreign Cat's Eyes may be too but it's hard for me to say for sure
-
I'm thinking Akro.
-
Blue Ravens have brown base glass, and I do not think this marble is a Ravenswood - maybe Heaton?
-
I'm not sure about the upper left one or the third one in the top row but the rest do look like JABOs to me.
-
I'd guess one of the Leighton types from Ohio, perhaps Navarre or Barberton.
