I've looked some of these up and found prices that surprised me I'm not sure if I am ID..ing them correctly.. Some help would be great.
I think I see a pontil scar on one of them.
I'm pretty well aware of the clay ones

no pontil scar. none before 1940 I think The brown one I believe is a ravens-wood
 

I found one like the blue one on the far right in some dirt that had seen many ears.I love that brown one too GatorBoy.
 

Thanks y'all
 

The red and white one looks like an Alley swirl. The pretty brown swirled one...I'm pretty sure that's a ravenswood swirl but it also somewhat reminds me of a champion. The green and white patches I think are akro patches. The one with the "pontil" doesn't really have a pontil... it is machine made as well, it just has damage. I can't tell what kind it is by the pics.

The red white and green swirly one might be a jabo, the other red white and green one might be a Vitro.
 

Thank you.. I didn't mention the pure white ones are noticeably out of round .
I'll try to get another photo of the one with damage.. There is an indention with a separate piece of material pushed into it as if to fill the dent... There's no fracturing anywhere around it.
Off to the Peace River fossil hunting now
 

That's the kind of damage you get when you hit it with a bb gun (ask me how I know, lol!). It's definitely not a handmade marble with a pontil. The marble is machine made, I can tell by the marble itself, not the mark on it.
 

Gotcha
 

Thank you
