A village blacksmith and a Sheffield machete question

I bought some machetes at a local auction the other day and am not having much luck ID'ing 2 of them.

Even tho the Village Blacksmith has a model number on it I didn't get any hits doing a web search.

I would like to know if these two have any potential collector value or is it OK to bring them camping and just use them.

Thanks

Looks like the Village Blacksmith is a corn knife. I'd hold onto that one personally just because of it being in such nice shape. The other I would go ahead and use due to the lack of a mark. But I'm probably one of the only people out there that would tell you to hold onto that VB as a collector's item--there's not a big collector's market for machetes--yet.
