Here’s some links to eBay for the Uncle Sam one https://www.ebay.com/itm/Steinbach-Nutcracker-UNCLE-SAM-ES1800-Limited-Edition-Signed/333680043434?hash=item4db0e165aa:g:cv8AAOSwvFlfLrUC

You can see the prices vary from about $150 to $800, not sure why the difference. Your Uncle Sam is:
Uncle Sam (ES1800) Nutcracker

I’m not finding a fireman like yours. If you have an ID number for it that might help.

I found what I think is the same Jester for $120 https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m98944320361/?ref=brand_category_detail
And here’s one on eBay https://www.ebay.com/itm/172624538082 selling for $135

My guess would be you could expect to get between $100 - $200 each. Since I couldn’t find your fire chief you might want to find out more in case there are less of them making them worth more.
