Are you trying to sell them or just looking for their value ??


(If you were me and they were my grandfathers, they'd be priceless.....;) )

The Marlin could be any number of 16 or so exposed hammer models made between 1898 and 1935. Blue Book values are between $100 - $2000 depending on Model and Grade. Yours - guessing at $ 300-400 w/extra barrel

In 1998 Marlin issued a service bulletin warning owners not to fire any of these model slide action shotguns. You may want to call Marlin and ask about it.

The Model 12 Winchester was made between 1964 and 1980 and then again in 1984. Blue Book values are between $400 - $6000. Depends again on Model and Grade. Yours - guessing at $ 500-600

The Marlin can be any number of models that Marlin made from 1898 through the mid 30s...yours looks in rather rough condition...Id say $200-250..even with the extra barrel...finding an original forend will only add about 20-25 about what you will have to pay for the forend...but if sure will improve the guns looks.....

The model 12 was made in 1930. It looks to be a field grade with a ribless barrel in what looks like worn but not abused condition, If it still has its original black winchester butt plate on the stock and with a 32 inch barrel [slightly uncommon] Id say $300-350 with a full choke, and a $50-75 premium for any other choke....If it has a solid rib that Im missing in your pics add another 50-75....
