Default Possible Rare Parts.... How much?

I have a set of near new (on a car for less than a month) original GM Rally Chrome Rings (5) and Top Hat Center Caps (4) for a C3. These were purchased in the early 70's and have been in storage ever since then. They are still in the original packing paper but not the original boxes. My elderly neighbor gave them to me and asked me to sell them for him. I would say the condition of them is near perfect ecept for one that has a mallet mark. How much are they worth?

I don't know about the beauty rings, but I recently bought two original center caps in nearly new condition for $30 apiece. Not all that rare.

If the rings have 4 clips, one at the valve stem hole and then every 90 deg. they are fairly rare. I don't know an exact price... depends on who wants them. If the clips are 45 deg. off from the valve stem hole they are GM replacemants and worth about $70 each if they are as new.
