Hi.  Welcome.  

From  left to right:

Marble #1 is interesting.  Looks like a patch in the first photo and a swirl in the second.  Not sure what to make of that.

On #2, I started to say West Virginia Swirl, but now I'm also considering Akro Lemonade.  Do you have a blacklight?  I'm curious to see if it glows brightly under UV light.

#3 and #4 are WV Swirls.  (There were about 10 companies in West Virginia which made swirls in the 1930's through 1950's, with one continuing on past that.)

#5 is also likely a WV Swirl, but the kind known as "Transparent Swirl".  I considered the possibility of it being a "Slag" which would have been a little earlier, but I think Swirl.

#6 is likely an Akro Moss Agate.  The damage is obscuring the pattern, but I think that's what it will turn out to be.  I expect that one will also glow brightly under blacklight.
