I always like skew rabbet planes.

Have thoughts that they can be used for panel raising.

If the planes are in decent condition and the price is good, I would buy all I could afford. But that is me.

Noteworthy with regards to collectibility or use?

If you want to use them, they are all fine if the stocks (bodies) are not warped and the price is right. Can't really say without seeing them.

As collector's pieces, they are pretty common makers so not of much value.

"As collector's pieces, they are pretty common makers so not of much value."

With one exception - the Mutter is a relatively early British maker with a fair bit of collector's value. Obviously, the value to a collector heavily depends on the condition - if it's original, has seen very little use and doens't have obvious cosmetic defects like paint spatters or heavy staining, worm holes, or the like, it's worth perhaps $100 at one of the big tool auctions.

Those 3/16" beads are very useful. E. Preston and A. Mathieson are both excellent names.
