You have our attention!
I bet you have some desirable ones in that group, but I'm no plane man, so I'll leave it to the experts.

Nice start to a collection. Sentimental value?

I think you showed a nicer one.  What are the others, do they have #'s?  Pictures from the side, top, rear, and front with a ruler would help figure them out.

I think you can be proud to own them, even prouder if you figure out what each one is and learn to use them.
