HELP WITH MARBLES, DON'T KNOW WHAT I GOT!

This is first time I've ever posted on the marble site here at TN, and I need your expertise.
Been detecting and digging for years, so I've accumulated jars of marbles.
I've poured through books, viewed stuff online, and I still can't figure out what exact types of marbles.
Finally decided to just photograph a bunch, and hope for the best.
I tried to get the best quality shots, but I'm still figuring the best way to line them up.
I don't really think that there is anything too unusual or rare in the bunch, but you never know.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance!
Carl

You have some nice late 30s and early 40 marbles.But nothing out standing. I see mostly Akro agate.. Nice cork screws
 

I agree, nice mixed lot of older marbles. Some peltiers, akros, alleys, vitro, and a stone agate one. The corkscrews with 2 colors are probably the best... mostly the green and orange one (if it is a corkscrew).
 

Brown and White at the bottom (6 o'clock) looks like a handgathered Slag. Probably M.F. Christensen.
 

Thanks all, but how you guys can tell is beyond me!
I stare, and stare, and all i see is pretty colors.
(Is the stone agate the one in the center, middle photo?)
Thanks again,
Carl
 

No, it's the caramel colored one with a white line through the center. Right up front on pic #1. Banded agate.
 

Got it, the one with the white "band" in the middle.
Told ya I didn't know diddly!
Sadly, it has lots of dings from where other marbles wacked it.
I'll torment you all with a few more scans, all my hand blown ones that I've dug
are so beat up they aren't worth posting.
But I do have a bunch more.
Hoping for that needle in a haystack. Thanks again!
Carl
