Very nice Veili to me.

Sistersville Alley.

They are hard to ID between RW and Alley but I think Ravenswood by pattern. Here are some out of a Pressman box to compare with (Alleys):

I don't see any tongue trait on this one. I use that trait for RW not Heaton but it can happen with any swirl company. The ear is mainly Heaton. I'm seeing basically two views here, just repeated in the pics. I'd like to see the end of the stream if it's visible, or other parts of the marble. I think it's either Heaton or RW.
-
Yes! You did recognize the trait, problem is that it can happen with any swirl maker. It's just more prominent with Ravenswood than other makers. You're learning, it takes time. But doing exactly what you're doing is how you get there. Glad to help if I can.

No on the cateye. The clearies could be from anyone. -
That one doesn't have strong traits. Just based on size and colors I would lean to later Alley. The pattern doesn't really show it but...
-
The base glass is only green. Then you have the black and orange/red/yellow. I believe Alley tried to reproduce them at St. Marys, maybe more than once, and came close but they were different. Here is a carnival for reference, from the West Virginia Swirls Identification book.

Alley but later thana carnival. Close though and still very nice!
-
WVS or not, every company made some that size.
-
Champion to me. Later one.
-
Not sure but seems likely to be RW.

Yeah it looks good on my second look too. Call it calligraphy IMO.
