The first is likely Master (brushed patch) - maybe Akro. The second looks more Akro to me.

A foreign, probably Asian, cat's eye.

Hard to say from these pics, maybe a swirl with a twist.

Good straight on shots of the seams helps with marbles like this but I am thinking Akro on this one.

Looks like it might be a pinched (folded) Vitro.

The second is a slag, the first looks a bit more like a swirl.

In my experience, a good yellow puree is hard to find, not sure why though, maybe it's just me. And I think some 3/8" mibs were used in roll-on applicators back in the day.

Looks like some of the spiral is hiding in a fold.

3-6 look Vitro, 7 Akro and 8 Master or maybe Akro.

I am thinking Vitro.

Welcome Joep! That is interesting and attractive jewelry. As you may have gathered, my name is Ric. I am half Dutch (the good half as my 93 year old Mother would say) and I used to trade marbles with a beautiful soul named Winnie, who lived in Amsterdam. Unfortunately, she is no longer with us (RIP). She was wonderful community member - I miss her being here.

It's a pretty marble. But I worry that many of these marbles that kind of resemble Vitro or Akro are not USA-made, and that I need way more education about these sorts of patch and ribbon styles. Do we even know where outside the USA they made this style of marble?

The first one looks mostly Vitro to me and the second I am not sure about. Is the base glass translucent?

In the bag, many look like they are made in Asia. A few of the ones you pulled out look like they could be Akro or Vitro, but I have some doubts.

I have no idea what this is but, again, it doesn't look American-made to me. I could see it being an older Vacor, but I really have no idea.

Not an Alley, maybe one of those Asian figure eight types? It doesn't look USA-made to me - if it did, I would say it looks most like a Peltier Rainbo.

Again, it's a little dark, but I do not think it's a Vitro.

It's a bit too dark for me to see much. If possible, try to take photos so the shadow behind the marble - more like the last shot.

They appear to be non-USA made Cat's Eyes. The first one in kinda cool.

There are too many marbles in a single post. It takes most of the fun out of IDing. The first one is a Vitro Aquamarine or variant.

Nice Bruce, I really like the boat!

These are West Virginia swirls and I think most of them are Ravenswood. They are known to have mad a lot of marbles on the smaller side.

If I am not mistaken, Vacor has been making marbles for many years - like since the 1930s. I do not think we know too much about their earliest glass marble production and I am not sure many people could definitively identify them - I know I couldn't. I wish I had some verified examples of their early production, because if I did, and I found the marbles attractive, I would probably collect them. Eye appeal is important, but if you don't know anything about the origins of a marble, I think it's value to collectors might be limited.

I guess it depends on what you like and collect. I collect mostly American made marbles, just because that's what I see the most and know the most about. Having said that, I wish I knew a lot more about old Vacor production and the different types of old machine-made marbles from Europe and Asia, because I find some of them really attractive. When, I say, they "don't strike me as being from the USA", I am simply implying is that I don't recognize them as marbles made here.

I agree with Steph, and I think we may be looking at some older Vacors on the other two - I don't know if we have a very good idea of their early production. They have been making marbles for a long time
