Hey guys, several years ago when I first got into collecting I bought a couple spydercos in a bulk deal. I oiled them and put them in my knife case and they have stayed there since. Well lately I have been focusing my collection and getting rid of some knives that I have never used. That's when I came back across these four knives and realized that I knew absolutely nothing about them. I have done some research on them but I was hoping you all could give me some more information on each of these knives and the possible value of each one. I don't have boxes or anything for these knives, what you see is what I have. Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

First I have a pink delica with an integrated pink plastic clip. There is no steel listed on the blade. It is fully serrated. The blade is in rough shape as you can see but when I got it, it was much worse and I got it cleaned up a little. As you can see the previous owner probably beat on it a little. No blade play and good solid lockup.

Next up I have a worker(I think?). Looking it up online I saw that there were several models of this knife, so maybe you can help me figure out which one. It has an ATS-55 steel blade and is solid stainless steel. Also fully serrated. But you can see everything else in the pictures. No blade play and good solid lockup.

Next I have what I think is a 79mm rescue. ATS-55 blade. FRN handles. Fully serrated. What I found interesting was that on the pocket clip it says, "US Patent 4347665, Foreign Patents Pend., Other Patents Pend." I've never seen that on a clip before so I thought it was cool. No blade play and good solid lockup.

Finally I have another delica. AUS-6 blade, solid stainless steel handle. Plain edge.

Thanks for all your help with this!
 
Blade steel on the delica is G2 aka GIN-1.

Delica 35 maybe less due to condition
Worker 60 maybe more as its a classic
Rescue jr 35 nothing particularly special
Delica II 35 nothing particularly special
 
That one being a Pink Delica is a bright spot. I do know 2 collectors that are wild about the older PINK models. Particularly the older pink FRN Cricket model really gets attention when they go up for sale. I've seen 2 interesting bid wars for Pink Delicas before too. Other than that I pretty much agree with Rycen's take on it. IF the Worker was in Mint condition it might have some collector interest. I personally never encountered very many Worker models in ATS-55. I believe that was the very last series of the Worker model if my memory is working right today. They are all good user models so maybe your best bet is to just use them and enjoy them.
