Very Old Buttstocks

Here I have a couple of old buttstocks found in my Grandfather's house. The flat butt plate is marked "Winchester repeating Arms Co." I wonder if these have any value?

    It looks to me like they are both from Winchester pump action 22's. The one with the crescent butt is possibly a Model 1890 and the one with the shotgun butt might be a Model 1906. I think kimi will probably be the best one to identify these old guns.

    I think I'd be tearing down walls looking for the rest of those old rifles.

    Yes, there is value there, but I'll leave it to others to try to suggest a value. The wood looks like it is still in restorable condition and the buttplates and screws look useable.

    If you can't feel the music; it's only pink noise!

    The one with the crescent butt plate is a Model 1890. The one with the composition butt plate is most likely a Model 62.
