the bigger black handled one says "the ideal" on it
the small white handled one says "hammer brand" on it
the 2 bladed one alone in its own pic says "western" on it
theres alot of nostalgia with these. my great grandfather i never met owned most of these. theyre special in there own way even if theyre not good brands. :) IS THERE ANY GEMS HERE?
no, thats not a buck knife. :D SPYDERCO TENACIOUS for size comparison

They are all special because they were your Great Grandads!! The Western is a goodie but what is that little one top right? it looks like a small toothpick.
 
Value for/on something like this collection is going to be tough. From the pictures I don't see any real $$ value - mostly shell handled Imperials or 'Imperial like'. Good for EDC pocket carry & decent knives but they were mostly on the cheaper end of the line. The best thing here is the internal value within the family - all keepers in my mind. I'd maybe mount them in a shadow box & display them. ?
