I found these at a local antique store. Although I did not buy them, I can always go get them. There is no manfacturer on them, that I could find. They are O guage, but the trucks are fixed, and there are flanges on the wheels. They are both in rough shape. Any ideas?

Are they worth anything? They are pretty rusty. Shame, it looks like they had nice graphics on them at one time.

Depending on which one, nice ones go from $10-25.00

My opinion - maybe fifty cents or so for the wheels (if you were in need of some for some other Nonpareil cars) - otherwise I don't see that they would have any value.
Missing wheels are common so they would be handy to have around, especially colored ones.

I agree with Steve. The doors and the wheels and axles are worth the $$$, for you could always make a flat car with a load out of them.
Jim O'C - I'm not sure I understand your post. If you are asking about the manufacturer of the CNJ car you have illustrated it is by Bing and it has the simpler lithographed door.
Jim O'C - got it....and true - they did copy from others.
