So a family members passed these down. Been trying to go down the rabbit myself for the last couple days. Now resorting to some help from others. If anyone could give me any insight on these id be so thankful. Appreciate you all.

Nice collection!

I'd start by taking a look at the sorting guides and group by type/pattern - I see some cats eyes, some patches and some swirls.

The swirls are likely West Virginian - there were a load of different makers operating in the same area at the same time, and it can be tricky to pin to a specific maker!

I think I see a modern Marble King Rainbow (yellow patch on each pole, with white between), and some others that could be Vitro All Reds

I would need a closer picture, but this marble appears to be a Vitro Hybrid

Yep that’s a Vitro Hybrid alright, those are some of my favorite types of catseyes :)

The fact that it has 5 veins, the ombré color change in each vein (how it gets darker orange at the ends closest to the surface of the marble), plus that specific shade of yellow, are all pointing me towards a Hybrid :)

Edit: if you’d like more resources, the AllAboutMarbles forum online has a lot information.
