I aint sure but the top on looks like a handmade the brown and white look like WV swirls.

Thats about as far as my knowledge goes[]

Craig ....
1&3 are handmade 1 is divided ribbon 3 looks like it might be an onion
4 is a peltier "7 up"
5 is a brick (very desirible marble)
6 is a slag , yellow 7 and Blue 7 are older hand gathered slags ( may be pontiled )
8s are Moss Agates , 9 is a Peltier swirl , 10's are hand made Micas , 11s , Look like "Corals" but may just be Peltier swirls little difficult to tell . 12 is a Bennington , brown one on lower right looks like a slag but could be a mineral marble. Hope that helps a little . Dave A Sorry for the hasty responce

Hey Phil ... that last one you posted looks like it might be a Red Based Lutz , very scarce ... in good condition it would be worth $$$

The larger brown marble below the the large blue hangathered Slag is a hangathered Slag as well. These are probably M.F. Christensen, but both M.F. Christensen and Akro made handgathereds like that. The other swirl type marbles not named are what collectors call West Virginia Swirls. There was alot of companies in the W.V. area that produced very similar marbles. Some are easier to I.D. than others. So, we usually just say W.V. Swirl.

Thats some great info from everyone. I dont know how you guys can tell them apart. They all look the same to me.
