Nice, Art - odd indeed. It took me a good while to figure out these types when I first saw them. It takes a bit of imagination to see MK, and imagination is not one of my strong suits.

These can be really tough ones. I just go with my first glance impression and I think I just got lucky.

Given the transparent red, I'd guess a very nice example from a JABO investor run.

Another .75 opaque swirl ID with white, purple, green, red, gray and cream

I'd say JABO too - probably an investor run. Your pics will be better if the shadows fall behind or to the side if the marble. The surface you are photographing is in the shadow. -
Akro Limeade, to go with your Lemonades

I was just going by memory and keying in on color - mainly the blue.

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.

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.

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.
