It's got a bit of a crease in it, which is messing with the seams a bit but I'm leaning Akro - maybe one of the Hero varieties.
-
I'd expect an additional color for a hybrid, Joe. I think that one is supposed to have a green top patch with 1/2 yellow and 1/2 orange equatorial ribbons - it's just messy.
-
Totally understandable - Tiger Eyes tend to have a lot of variation and you've got a few oddballs, which really complicates things. Marble-making was certainly not a precision process. ๐
-
If the base is opaque white, the center one may be a weak Baby Parrot (4 colors) and the right a weak Parakeet (3 colors) - both "weak" because of the amount of white showing.
-
The left one is a Tiger Eye variant like that other odd one you posted - either a Type I or Type II depending on how you look at it. The right on is an Akro patch.
-
If the base is opaque, the first is probably an All Red. The second looks like a messy type I Tiger Eye.
-
Just variations - the first is a pretty typical Type I, the second is a Type II, and the third is a hybrid Type I or II, depending on how you want to slice it . . . it's either a Type I with equatorial ribbons of the same color or a Type II with a white patch. My guess is it should have been a Type I with a purple top patch, a white bottom patch and 1/2 blue, 1/2 green equatorial ribbon, but yeah, it's messed up. ๐

They appear to be Tiger Eye variants. Are the 2nd & 3rd veneered color on a clear transparent base?

I'm thinking German - Technische Glaswerke Ilmenau.
-
My first thought is JABO.
-
Not much to go on with this marble - it's a nondescript WV swirl.
-
Yes, a Vitro Conqueror.
-
When I looked at it this morning, my first thought was, "Is this perhaps one of the nicest Roosters I have ever seen?" I don't think it's a JABO. ๐

Nice find, Joep - complete to, if I counted right. Now you can look for dividers. ๐ -
I think they used "onyx" to refer to a particular type of glass also, since I have seen dish sets labeled "Onyx".
-
Might be a JABO Classic.

11/16" Dark Transparent Green with a blueish swirl

I think it might be from a JABO contract run - I've seen some that form pretty nice Jorkscrews. -
Alley is my thinking.
-
I think Leighton had factories in Navarre, Barberton, Steubenville, and Shadyside.
-
I wonder about foreign possibilities.
-
Conqueror variants if they are veneered - otherwise, just patches, I guess. I don't know of any particular name for them.

Cool marble, is it foreign? -

Nice marbles but I'm surprised at the price. -

All nice finds, Fire. If the Vitros are veneered I would say Conqueror variants. If not, just patches, I guess. I don't know of any particular name for them.
