The first is contemporary, the rest look like antique German handmades. Look for initials or some kind of date on the ends of the contemp. for clues to a possible maker. Ah. I almost forgot "Welcome to Marble Connection"

It took a while to find one that clean, believe me From what I understand the kids were always trying to get the figure out of the glass resulting in the destruction of many.

My cleanest and one of my biggest sulphide's for this "Sundays Best" not a rare one, in fact one of the most common but still a favorite of mine, a "barnyard pig" my wife used to say " Better a male chauvinist pig than no pig at all " So I'm one second late, ah well, I tried to get here on time

Blue Lagoons have a transparent (clear) base and the av. is usually very dust like, here's a couple picture's of mine. The av. is heaviest next to & in the blue ribbons but is present throughout the entire marble. The size on this one is just a hair over 5/8ths. Not quite sure what to call yours ? It has the structure of a Rainbo? I've never seen a lagoon that wasn't a swirl but I guess anything's possible

Akro IMO

The marbles are 100% authentic. The box is newer, don't know where it came from ??

Alley IMO

Metallic PPP IMO, great mib, far less common than a metallic Rainbo

Green Bricks :: Partially trans. green base Another trans. green base Smore.

X2, Akro here

Yours is newer, the older vintage have opposing colors on the poles. Here is a recent auction still in progress of the older vintage type. LINK :: https://www.ebay.com/itm/364952964003

Click on bidding war, but no wasn't the blue angel auction. BLUE ANGEL LINK :: https://www.ebay.com/itm/235592873369?mkevt=1&mkcid=1&mkrid= JAMES'S (rockgardenplants) LINK :: https://www.ebay.com/itm/355565264538?_trksid=p2471758.m4704

I had to download it on my PC to view it, the only one that would download is the last vid. Yes a very nice piece of work Brother, I made something similar out of an old 3D crystal display, the onion is just a hair under 2"

X2, nothin here either

The first & last are CA for sure, not positive about # 2 ??

X3, agree w/ machine made

#1. Mibster :: There are however separate (pet) names that have been adopted by people who collect by individual manufacturers i.e. "Pelthead" "Akronaught" "Vacorian" etc.. #2. Sort however you wish but there are standard ways marbles are sorted, manufacturer, size, rarity etc... #3. Most use pistol cases w/ dimple foam inside for storage or transport to keep your mibs well separated & safe, display is a whole different story. Yes a taboo to have them clacking against each other, condition is everything and such transport or storage may cause damage. #4. Oh boy

Not Bifurcated, bifurcates have 2 different base colors the OP has a single type transparent base.

"Welcome to Marble Connection" Not far away from you here in Longview WA. You have some nice mibs, I see several different manufacturers, both vintage & newer, Vacor, Vitro, Akro, Peltier etc.... For I.D. purposes please represent each marble by around 4 pics. Top Bottom & sides w/ pics of any apparent seams, 4-5 mibs in each post. Slower I know but a much much more accurate I.D. for you. Again, "Welcome"

Can't wait Brother
