    As I am sure someone will mention, it is almost impossible to determine a value without pictures to see.

    The only other possible ways would be to get a book such as the Fjestad's Blue Book or Flayderman's and get a value which may or not be close to what they are worth or scan the completed auctions for the same model in similar condition and see what they sold for.

    If a hand ejector (swing out cylinder) the first gun was known as a Terrier before model numbers were assigned in 1957. Sometimes listed as a .38-.32.

    The second is a .32 New Departure Second Model made between 1902 and 1909.

    Maybe you can find some in closed auctions to get an idea of the resale value.

    The H&R Young America might have been made anytime from about 1900 til World War II. It cost $6.95 in 1939 when the .38-32 Terrier was $30 and the New Departure Safety Hammerless was $28. Not much gun in fair condition.
