I was thinking more along CAC American Agate, or else Peltier Prima Agate as possibilities for the first. Pretty sure there are some archive posts I should read up on

Agree. Any markings on bottom or otherwise? A lot of quack medicine including whiskey used bottles like this. Looks like a big one. What's the height/capacity

At a quick glance looks like Akro deserving better pics. One on the left might be a nice CAC

Surprised nobody said Master...key in focus lol

Never owned one or seen in hand, but have seen a couple boxes on ebay where the "original" packaging would keep them safe and in this condition

Wow, nice score. Great grouping. It would take awhile to accumulate a collection like that individually. You could fill up some solitaire boards and backfill boxes with those examples (they look great in your cases too)

That gooseberry is wow nice.

I'm getting foreign vibe on each

Makes you wonder what it was up against for that chip?

Beautiful pattern. The transparent part of the green and red (on the same marble) would make me lean away from pelt.

Old pic. There's at least twice that many packed away in a ziploc around here somewhere.

Don't collect them per se but have ended up with quite a few over the years

Oh, I'm eating the popcorn here.

I'm trying to think of a Vitro with that type of construction and coming up blank.

Last one looks like one of those odd handmades sometimes associated with South America. Again with the left hand twist. FWIW, I've handled 100's (1000's) of german handmades and over the years from that sample group there was 1 left hand twist and arguably a couple neutral (no twist, clouds).

Red King from Dark Tower series? But back to the OP, not often you get something that resembles a letter on number, let alone a couple on the same marble. cool example

Left hand twist imho

Here's a pic of the rest. such an odd group.

Been a while for a score and actually these were gifted to my son from a distant relative the zip lock contained a 8-10 of these Pelts among foreign cats eyes and figure 8s.

Fritz Lauenstein 2002. One of my first contemporary marbles, I don't have too many

I agree with wonky Akro patch w/ oxblood. From what I recall, the term 'blue oxblood' was a cork that looked black and white but on closer inspection, the cork portion was a dark blue overlaid with oxblood on a white base.

More pics of the green/black marbles please. I'm with Akro sparkler based on the pics Where's Hendrix?

That's awesome! My wife would probably have something to say about it but what a HUGE collection. Watch out with those big glass jugs, sometimes they spontaneously bust. Some of the handmades look original, but there are some contemporary and (possibly polished) ones mixed in. What strikes me as interesting, is that 26 years ago, some marbles might have been considered common enough to just throw in a jug or jar. Nowadays there could be high demand for those 'exiled' marbles. Have fun, and if your Grandfather had that much passion for the hobby I'm sure he'd appreciate you enjoying them as well

From the original pics my first thought on the blue one was veliliglass wirepull. But with better pics, and if the spirals are independent, I'd agree with Akro DI. Can't say I've seen one like it.
