Found these 3, any good?

Like it says, I found these in a pool hall attic that a buddy owns, are any of these worth refinishing? They will all need new scales for sure. Any idea what the cost would be approx to fix em up for shaving if possible or would they be better for a DIY project?

1) Peaso- says "Best Silver Steel" on the blade, Solingen with the lil logo. Also has "Saturday" engraved into the top, any idea why? maybe part of a set? The scales are broken, but the blade is pretty good. one slight nick in the blade that youd have to look hard to see and a lil pitting

2) Wade & Butcher - "The Celebrated" Hollow Ground Razor- Sheffield
Its pitted/rusted alot but the edge has no nicks or chips and it looks like it might clean up nicely. Scales are cracked and warped

3) No name on it, Just "Extra hollow Ground" and "Sheffield".
Has the notch in the end. Has some pitting/rust and light scratches but the edge looks alright and it looks like it would clean up alright. Scales are thin but no cracks, just a bit warped. Any idea of the brand?

Any input? Keep in mind they were free. If I can get them to look nice or shave nice I dont mind spending a bit if theyre good blades. Thanks

Also found a couple case/boxes but Im not sure if they match up to these. one is brown and says "L.S. & Co M." and the other is black and says "CF. Schwartz & Company Makers of Highgrade Cutlery" and "Solingen Germany" and The "Rarity" Razor.

The first razor looks like it would make a good shaver. The WB edge is plagued by deep pitting which would always leave a broken serrated area where pitted when honed. Same for the third razor, but less so. Any vintage razor is a good razor to start to learn honing and restore though. You never know how a razor will come out until you try.

thanks. Should I even bother trying to clean up the others or will they not really be worth the effort?

Fine abrasive polishes like Maas or Flitz, some soft cloth and some careful scrubbing do wonders for quickly spiffing up found razors. Give it a try.

The first thing I do with a razor is hone it to the point where I'm either through the corrosion to good steel or I find that it is going to be swiss cheese and micro chips. Then it is a lost cause and no point in putting more time into it.
