I have a small collection of older scopes like this, including both of these examples. The #344 scope looks to be in great condition, and in the USA would fetch around $100 or so. I don't see pics of the Winchester, but if it is still completely enamelled and not showing the brass of the tube anywhere, then it is probably worth about the same amount.

Over here in the UK I really have no idea of their value, since I've never met anybody else who collects old American scopes but me.
