I think Fire is on target with this one.
-
Whoa, that is one gnarly cut off! I think Japanese transitional is probably right.
-
I am leaning Heaton on the left one - maybe the right one too.
-
Pretty generic WV swirl that could have been made by a few different companies, IMO.
-
Looks Asian to me.
-
It looks more Master than Akro to me but I am not sure it's either.
-
This reminds me of one of the spheres that Corning used to use in fiberglass production - don't know if they still do. Whatever it is, it has no collectible value.
-
Akro rules when it comes to lashes but Master had their fair share too. And FWIW, I don't think this is an American marble.
-
I think the left one is an Alley that got spun on the rollers. The right one looks mostly Heaton to me but there are other possibilities too, I think.

They look more MK than Vitro to me, although they seem off for either maker to me, and like Fire, I wonder about foreign possibilities.
-
I'm leaning toward Jackson - kind of a sweet one too.
-
Oh boy, Art - that's a dandy!
-
I like a 10X too. I have stronger but haven't had it out in ages - they can be useful for diagnostic purposes, though. One of the key reasons people collect marbles is for their eye appeal, which is why Chuck Brandstetter once told me, "If you need magnification to see it, it may as well not be there". And I agree, whose going to go out of their way or pay extra to acquire a marble that "has AV" (or anything else), if they need a loupe to see it? Not me.

Most artists these days will sign work they're proud of. This one looks like someone may have been practicing their dot stack technique, which is a fairly common approach. If you figure out who made it I'll truly be amazed. 🙂

Nice patch, but no UV reactivity. What you are seeing is just the light reflecting from the source.

They're sure hard to find in mint condition.
-
This one doesn't fit the Baseball name for me. I want to see a white base with thin clean lines and no bleeding for a Baseball. They're actually harder to find than you might think - blue ones are the most common, at least in my experience.
-
Yup, Vitros - weird but cool Conquerors, I think.
-
I agree with Peltier.
-
That is a wholly machine-made marble. I do not believe it is American. My best guess would be an early Vacor (El Aguila).
-
It's giving me a Ravenswood vibe.
