Trying to help out a lady rancher friend on value of a bunch of her firearms. Been out of the gun business for years so have not kept up with the trends. Very old and in rough shape, 25-35'year 1920 rough shape, 93 WCF 30, 1897, again rough and 32 special 1901. These dates I got off a winchester search site so I hope the dates are accurate. As expected for their age these are in very rough shape, bad bore etc. so are they really worth anything? Thanks guys.

As always, value is based on originality and condition. Old Winchesters always have some value.

Can always use them for clubbing seals.

Because Winchester made ~4million M94's, most in 30-30, condition and rarer configuration is everything for those.
Uncut stocks, octagon barrels, carbines, saddle rings bring more money. Any 32 cal in the same condition should be worth more than a 30-30.

Several years ago I sold a piss poor .25-35 on GB for a customer. Bore looked like a gravel road and key-holed bullets at 25 yards. I included a picture of the target in the listing. Exterior didn't look any better than the bore. Somebody still bid it up to around $800. Some guys love "relic" condition for some reason...

Pics would be great!
Winchester's always hold some sort of value. With over 5 million mfg. from 1894-2006 and still being produced just not under the Original Winchester name.
The original old Winchesters are still sought after in all Configurations and some commanding more $ than other as condition and rarity always come into play as much as original configuration does. A lot of good comments above. As you're aware of Don't try to enhance them or clean them up. JMO!
