Definitely new.
Save your money.
The bottom left was made this century. Vacor Halloween. -
#11 now looks like a Vitro. Maybe from the 1950's.
#15 now looks Asian. An uncommon version of the marble style that we call Imperial. I don't have a guess for the decade. Good odds it's after 1970, but I don't know.
Jabos often have a U-shaped swirl.
Here are some sample pix of Jabos -- at a good reference site:

Hi Jacob, welcome.
Looks like you have a mix of new and old.For ID-ing I like to see the seams of a marble, if the marble has seams. We used to have a seam tutorial. I accidentally deleted it. I need to redo that. Putting it on my list now. (In #1, the first view is part of the seam.)
I think #1 will turn out to be a hybrid Vitro All-Red. From the 1960's.
#10 might turn out to be Akro. From the 1940's.
#11 is interesting. I'd like to see more of the ends of the blue patch. It does look vintage.
#4 and #5 look almost like Akro corkscrews, from the 1930's, but I suspect they will turn out to be Jabos, from after 1990.
#2 might be a West Virginia swirl, but I think it will also turn out to be a Jabo.I think Jabo on #6, 9, 12, 13. Maybe others, such as #7 and #14.
I think WV Swirl on #3. (Say, 1930's through 1950's.)
#8 might be a modern marble from Asia.
#15 looks like it will turn out to be vintage. More views needed.

That would be a fun one to have, sure enough.

I know someone in Tennessee who used to collect marbles. I'm not sure if she's still into it. Did you ever know Carole Shockley?
-
Yes, that's exactly it. Well, I think it collects in a little cup first before it goes to the rollers.
.... but we have a lot of people who have seen marbles being made in person. I'm not one of them. Maybe they can add. -
fantastic pictures of interesting marbles
