Take these IDs with a grain of salt because these don't scream any maker in particular to me strongly.
Next to last btw!
1: Safest bet is probably Alley
2: Bothersome unidentifiable swirl. Okay, Alley.
3: Could be Heaton? Or Alley.
4: Alley
5: Alley.

No!!! I refuse, REFUSE, to stick a "bothersome unidentifiable swirl" in with my Alleys. Ain't gonna happen....what if I do a group pic and someone sees that "thing" in there? Don't need to be giving people the impression that I don't know what I am doing. (LOL!) To me it looks like something newer; so what maker out there that still exists would create such a travesty? (or is it truly an Alley??!! - Never mind, it STILL ain't going in with my Alleys...Nope.)

I don't know. I'm sure someone can probably ID it but I'm not that guy ...yet. Maybe post it at AAM and see if Ron can ID it, he's the swirl expert for sure! I hope one day to know half as much about marbles as he does. I wish we had some more authority on the subject here as I am sure I'm wrong on some of my IDs but I do a decent job overall. The longer I study swirls, the more I understand them but the more I realize some of them just can't be understood.

I think vacor made some modern old fashined swirls but this looks old... not vacor.
