Hey Ric, The top image--the right hand one is probably an Akro--"CORNelian". They are well known for showing little white. Blast it with some backlighting--it should be semi Opaque. The red color differentiates this one from a "Cranberry". Cranberries are much darker—almost a dark red and dark purple mixed. Cornelians actually were a production marble and you can search for boxes of these. The Cranberries were not a production marble as far as I can remember--they were all dug. These were called bricks back in the day—no oxblood though. The Cornelians were also called bricks—no oxblood in these either. This was the way— Marble—On!!

CAC marbles were made in the 9/16" range, yes?

Mind reader Tommy! Marble--On!!

I looked again--the RWB may just be a Pelt Rainbo. Marble--On!!

The last images show a blue tint--is this right? Marble--On!!

“Vacor Roosters” and “Akro Slags” can be a hard thing to sort for those that are not into the older “slags”. You have a mix here and some more learning is invited imho. One thing that I am almost sure of is that you have an Akro "Brick" involved here. Oxblood to the max—a great marble! I have circled it and it is from your second image. Marble—On!!

I blew this one up one my PC and looked very hard at the damage. No Akro Here, not a "Brick" or anything close to a "Mulberry". "Mulberry Bricks" are just a version of a "Slag" that have an opaque glass as the base--white with dark mullbery colored glass vs red transparent is all--no oxblood involved. I am pretty sure that these "Mulberry Bricks" were all dug. If you want to see one just PM me and we will work it out. Imho this one is a Master Made Marble--- a patch---a very cool find! I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

This one is pretty common too find--WVS -- no ID from me. Marble--On!!

I can almost see what the interweb is sayng here, Peltier "Honey Onyx". If so it would be a weak one for sure. I am with Ric here but I am surprised that he did not mention Ravenswood. @IowaMarble is the go to here to detremine Peltier or not. Marble--On!!
-
Nice images! Imho--it is just a common WVS. I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

I can see why some may think that this one may be a MK--they can show up quite weird like this one. I am in on the Pelt ID--- Marble--On!!

The later marbles all used "cullet glass", or throw away from other glass companies No company could afford to make there own recipes for glass and compete with the influx of Asian marbles. They are what they are and much of the cullet came from other glass companies making other than marbles. Marble--On!!

For sure! Marble--On!!

Yep! Marble--On!!

I sold this as a 21/32" Ravenswood, but...

The OP may just be a Champion imho. "New Old Fashioned". I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more Marble--On!! -
I will stick with my evaluation here. @cheese is a pro and he will understand. Vacor--"All Day Long" imho. I know what a WVS is just not the ID company wise. I just like to find a rare Vacor and ID it. This is my final and I hope that the experts chime in. As always I appreciate all opinions and hope to see some more. Marble--On!!

Yes a few--but the one that sticks out is the yellow and white on the left. There may be a "Blackie" involved as well. The front right also shows a Vitro--white-red-clear--probably a "Conqueror" of some sort. These that I id are all in the front of image #2 There are a few others involved in the back of the image. Ric knows his Vitro--I do too--just not the names. MK and Vitro are always a hard thing to pick apart—some-times. Ric is the go to here as far as I am considered. Keep on keepin on William--we all never get "it" for sure. Marble—On!!

As "Gordan Ramsay" would say---"It's a Bloody Woodie". Nice marble! Nice Find! Brilliant! Marble--On!!

Any marble with obvious inclusions’/bubbles is/are appreciated by me and a few others including @Fire1981. Pretty cool imho. Marble—On!!
