This is a transitional marble - hand gathered and machine rounded - a creased pontil, perhaps Japanese.

They all appear to be slags but not from the same manufacturer. This one is a Peltier Feathered Slag.

Peltier Rainbo

Does light pass through the marble? If not, my guess would be JABO.
-
This is not one I readily recognize. The orange peel is really prominent. Is there any transparency - will light pass through any of it?
-
I think that is the case, Rick - some corked and some didn't but still MA.
-
Yes, marketed as a Moss Agate, I think.

Cat's Eyes - foreign to the US.

Master Sunburst.

That sort of structure is common on Alleys but is not uncommon on Ravenswoods.
-
It'd be a very strange one - maybe foreign?
-
I'll go with Ravenswood.

Yes, we will need more than one view, and be sure to show any seams or ribbon ends.
-
Yeah, it's a pretty nice Vitro.

I have not heard them called that before, William. The hand seems pretty svelte for a beggar. Where did you hear that name? It seems like it might have been adapted from the Portieux or Vallerysthal "paupers" or "beggars hand" vases, which look a lot more like a beggar's hand, at least to me. -
The marble is out of focus so it's hard to see but it looks like a big melted bubble pop to me - more like a crater than a hole.
-
I would say a Vitro with a bit of a twist - nice marble.

Some of IDing JABOs has to do with the way the glass looks compared to vintage marbles. Another feature on many, but not all, JABOs is what is a sort of C- or U-shaped pattern in the striping glass, like that in your third and fourth pics. You can see more examples of what I am talking about in the marbles at Marble Alan's ID Guide.

I agree. And I think your pics would be a lot better for ID if you put the marbles on a darker, neutral color, non-reflective surface.
