Love it. Congratulations. Thanks for the update on this unusual topic.

Darn! But you had to take the chance.

I have all of two melon balls. I pulled out the white one and hoped for opalescence, but no. I tried to imagine that I was seeing a hint of orange, but it was just wishful thinking. I did get a little fire coming through the blue one. I don't know how to judge the pontils. Faceted I think on the white and maybe melted on the blue, but not sure. The marbles came with a date -- July 14, 1879.

Randy, are you reading?

What he said.

Looking good!

Understood! Am I still allowed to be impressed by you?

Hi ... I don't recognize the yellow and white color combination. I guess it might be Champion Agate, a type of West Virginia swirl. (I also wonder if it could be Veiligglas -- from Amsterdam -- but I'm leaning American.)

no treble!

I'm all about that Ace, 'bout that Ace.

It's just part of our background from being little kids in America. Hence the "wait for ittttt" element to the joke. Takes a minute, but then the sounds float into place and we get a chuckle. And obviously you know more about my culture than I know about yours, so Dr. Seuss is someone to add to the roster of people you know.

Well, then maybe this is a "learn something new" moment ... he's a big part of American culture. The Cat in the Hat Green Eggs and Ham Horton Hears a Who ... oh and a very big biggie is: How the Grinch Stole Christmas! Do you know of the Grinch?

Okay, no more invisible ink ... still for Hoody ... Do you know Dr. Seuss? He wrote goofy rhyming books easily readable by children but also loved by many adults. Here's the one this picture was about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Fish_Two_Fish_Red_Fish_Blue_Fish

Ooops ... I'll try to remember that and add more empty spoiler lines next time.

For Hoody -- in invisible ink below one fifth, two fifth, red fifth, blue fifth which is a play on the title of a famous Dr. Seuss book.

Fried green tomatoes will be on the menu later today.

Other than that one I'm not recognizing any which could be of signficant value. Something might call out to someone else though. The marbles are mostly Vitro. But I see at least a little Peltier, Marble King, Master, some kind of swirl, and maybe an Akro corkscrew. (The blue one near the bottom of the top photo -- I'm wondering if that is a corkscrew.)

I think that it is a 1930's Vitro, and the size could add value to it. Condition is very important though for value. A chip could lower the value of a marble by half or more from mint condition.

Hi. Welcome. (I love buttons -- started to collect seriously -- but then switched to marbles.) Most of those would be "commons" as you probably suspected. The most interesting one I recognize is the large one which is near the middle of the bottom picture, and is peeking down from the top of the top picture.
