the marble with the purple patch is a vitro tiger eye made in vienna wv before the mid 50s...the others are lumped into wv swirls....those are very common marbles and with damage hold little value to collectors....

Those are pretty..

Re marbles like that which aren't collectible or monetarily valuable I clean them up and put them in small carboard,glass and cotton display boxes. You can clean off dirt and rust using a brillo pad under running water. Sometimes I use a Dremel and buffing disk with polishing agent to shine them up.
