These four units were found clearing out an old gear locker. Any ideas on identification would be appreciated. Also should these be sold or thrown away.

A dreamer rebreather, the green one I don’t recognize off the top of my head, the healthways and nemrod double hose all have their followers, no great value since the people who like to fuss with this sort of thing won’t pay much, my guess is you’ll find someone interested But don’t quit your day job.
 
First one is a Draeger scr. might be worth something.
 
Is the green one a Navy Aircraft Blimp Rebreather?

I think your best bet on value is to consult ebay, especially the completed items.

Others have better answers on the rebreathers, but the other two are are a Healthways SCUBA (single stage, no venturi) and a Nemrod Snark 3 silver (2 stage upstream tilt valve).
Both are less common for people to restore and use, due to parts availability primarily. The SCUBA can be modified to be a good breather (I make my own parts to do it), the Nemrod I'm not sure on (I have one that is in the needs to be rebuilt section, but haven't had one in the water).
Healthways made the SCUBA from 57-59.
Nemrod made the Snark III silver from 71-99 going through a few versions, with yours looking like one of the earlier ones.
Prices are all over the place. You see a lot of double hose regs on Ebay with high prices, but the don't typically sell. There are a couple healthways DH regs on there now that I know the seller... and the prices he asks are appropriate for what you get with him (serviced ready to dive reg, knowing the time put into cleaning and parts sourcing).

Respectfully,

James
