Agree - looks like messed up corkscrew. Only other possibility is if it is a transitional - doesn't quite look right but not my area of expertise.

One with green is definitely an Akro oxblood patch. Other - not sure if oxblood.
-
Yes, nice bunch.
-
Yes, both legit bags.

Sorry to hear that. Prayers to his family and friends.

Agree on Imperial - packaged by Imperial Toy Company. They did not make marbles but bought initially from Mexico (in 80's), then switched to buying Asian marbles. The ones you show are the Asian types. No specific company names from over there so generallly called Imperial since they are found in their packaging.

I'd be leaning Alley on those two.

For history and marble making information on all the US companies, American Machine Made Marbles is a great book.

There are some Alley that are similar but I think those are Ravenswood.

Agree, and by the way, Rainbow is for MK (Marble King); Rainbo is for Peltier.

Agree - nice one!

Looks Akro to me - maybe even thin oxblood.

Might be Pelt but unsure.

I lean to Marble King. One of the "blended" types - maybe a red/orange bee blend?

Possibility of transparent swirl or maybe a slag - hard to tell as they are so dark. Maybe a backlit picture?

Agree - tipoff is yellow and red corkscrewing around the marble from top to bottom. That makes a cork - then clear and wispy white make it a popeye.

Foreign cat's-eye, if you did not already know that.
-
Those look to be all newer - Mexican or Asian.
