Very bottom row, third from the left - lavender on green . . .
-
Those that are not black-based are older vintage American marbles from what I can see. They are quite common types and nominally collectible, nothing jumps out at me as "special". And as for collectors, condition is usually very important, especially with common types like these.
-
Hmmm, Do they have a flat spot like a paperweight? They might be someone's practice pieces or they might be old, or both, I really don't know, but the cased one is pretty cool looking. I'm not really sure what you'd call them style-wise - sort of a "cloud", maybe?
-
I do think that may be an earlier JABO Classic
-
I need to think more about Vacor when I see these types.
-
The first is a Vitro Superior. The second is a Vitro Buttermilk. And the third is a Parrot, no matter it's size, a Baby Parrot if it's small. Both the Superior and the Buttermilk are TriLites.

I'm loving that new avatar, Chad!
-
I remember Ron saying he thought that maybe 12-13 were made.
-
I'd say a Vienna Vitro, an early TriLite.
-
it's always interesting to see the innards of a cane-cut marble.
-
I think it's an early "bullet mold" - a fancy one. 🙂
-
I completely agree with Bill.
-
Nice Champion! Some people classify this type as a "Furnace Marble" and others do not. I fall into the later category. They are great marbles either way.
-
I think Alley made some nice Flickers.
-
I think Heaton is a good possibility too.
-
I believe that is correct - a Peltier Dragonfly. I posted this one last "Peltier Tuesday".
-
I think that is very cool but I can't quite figure it out. Does it have a particular use - candy dish, maybe? It looks like it's made with a "bird" motif to me. I like it!
-
I'm thinking this is Akro.
-
The Paul Bunyans are interesting marbles. The last I heard from Ron, shortly before he passed, he had pretty much settled on the idea that they actually were made and packaged by Ravenswood as a sort of special production item. Let me know if you find any big game marbles or clearies in your bags.

I posted these a couple of weeks ago. Early JABO Classic Experimentals, circa 1991-1992.
-
I think it's probably Ravenswood.
-
I think it's Alley - I like it.
-
Yes, I am thinking American Agate too.

This one's 1"

A group of mostly TriLites
