A look into my cabinet

I'm wondering if anyone could tell me ball park values here. I'm definitely not looking to sell, but am curious as to what I've got.

1. Winchester Model 12 chambered in 16ga. Barrel is a 28"(guestimated length) full choke. Stock could use refinish but gun retains blueing. I use it for squirrel and turkey and it holds a tight pattern. I think gun was bought late 40's or very early 50's.

2. Harrington and Richardson Topper Jr. 410ga, full choke, good condition, but the pattern seems to wide for a full choke. Have no idea as when my uncle originally got this.

Also, for the 16 guage, I'm running out of places to pick up quality ammo. I used to use #4 magnum loads with lead shot--old shells. Now all I can find for the 16 is steel crap with less range half the recoil I'm used to getting hit with. Any good sources for better loads.
 
A 16 gauge model 12 in good shape around these parts would be $300-500, more for fancy stuff like upgrade wood or engraving.

Your H&R, maybe $100 on a good day.

Ballistic Products carries 16 gauge ammo and components. At this point, I regard the 16 as a reloader's gauge. Shame, it does a nice job in the uplands.
