All three items appear to be in very rough condition. You should pass on all of those items as a buyer will expect something much better in quality. At best, those items are worth $3.00 each. Not really worth your time to deal with. Toss them out and move on.

as the car restorer who lives next door to me says, "condition isn't the issue because any true car lover will restore it before using it anyway". Put them up for sale after cleaning the dirt away and you could be pleasantly surprised.
you wouldn't believe the condition of some of the things he buys.

I bought two box lots of trim, hood ornaments, dealer tags/nameplate thingys (guess I had better learn the technical term prior to listing) that I tried to clean up yesterday. I figured that the restorers would be the ones that would buy most of them. I threw out the items that were noticably broken, except for a few. I have the entire word "Chevrolet" (very large, about 14 inches long) but it is broken out into 4 pieces. I will probably lot some items together and I will be sure to point out flaws in the others.
Regarding #3: That's the best image you can get on that. It is 2.75 inches wide and 5 inches long. It has the letters RH TOP on the back and this sequence of letters and numbers: D7LB-13236-AA.

It's gotta be next to impossible to restore marred chrome items when they can be purchased in excellent condition for a fair price. It looks like someone went to an auto junkyard and removed the items from cars that no one else bothered with because of their poor condition. Throwing them out is good advice or give them to the Goodwill.

if you look at it sideways-the first pic is a statue of elvis in "charro"

That last one looks like an old Oldsmobile emblem. I seem to remember one like that on my mum's Vista Cruiser stationwagon.
