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.

Nice Alley Blue Sky and Vitro - the elephant's pretty great too! -

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.
-
I'd say Alley first and Heaton second. It's pretty beat up and hard to get a good look at the details.

Not a bad day, the multicolor hand vase is very nice. -
That's a great bunch of old German hand-mades - a great keepsake collection!
-
Not real common but not rare either.
-
Yes, a Vitro Tiger Eye.. If it's opaque, it's a Type IV.
-
My first thought is a Vitro Tiger Eye but it would be helpful to see both seams.
-
I see Alley.
