Inherited marbles --- can you help me Identify them?

[Jack Hamilton]

Took the best pics I could. I think they turned out well. I got these marbles from my wifes grandfather who was born at the turn of the century. He collected all sorts of stuff, and I am proud to hold his marble collection. Let me know what you think, thanks

Value differs accordingly..

I agree the whole lot might sell on Ebay for twenty five bucks. That's reality. But I am in the process of excavating 40,000lbs of sand,rocks and boulders just outside my desert ghost town of Trona,Ca hunting for antique marbles. The first 10,000lbs have resulted in finding four marbles the nicest of which is a Vitro Agate Co helmet marble. That's four marbles and five days' work in 116F heat during hurricane-force sandstorms. Who would do this but a nut or someone getting far more from the effort than monetary reward? Were I you I would not sell the marbles. I would keep them.
