Usually the smaller they are the older they are.
Any idea what the railroad line was named? The tiny ones are likly from either a narrow gage track or a extreamly old one.
offered with providence they might be worth a good bit to collecters of that specific railroad.

This was a temporarily line built to haul the big pines out of the woods many decades ago.

I looked on eBay and saw some that somebody spent a whole lot of time beating the snot out of them with a hammer.
