OH MY! I didn't see that! Will be in touch if you PM me - once I see them.

I have already checked the serial numbers - the 222 is from 1956 if I remember correctly and the other two must be Centennial models judging by the badges - one is 1951 and one is 1952. One has the fancy scrolled front and the other has the lines.
