The little blue one is older, if it plays, that's pretty amazing. I have a similar busted-up Hohner that's from the 1920's. I don't know the company but it looks like that range.
I paid a few hundred dollars for mine at an antique shop, they aren't really worth much as instruments when they're that old.
The two-row looks like it might be a modern instrument (like 1950's-now). If it is in good shape and plays very well it might be worth $5-700. If it has anything wrong with it, prices drop quickly.
There is no way for a buyer to buy it without checking it in person. There are too many things that could be wrong. If you want to sell them as "playable," (worth more), they need to be able to look at them.

PS. That blue one's really pretty! And looks like it's in really nice shape for show.
Thanks for the information Bruce. I have passed the info on. I think he is thinking of hanging on to them now. I was asked because I play(?) the piano accordion, but I am not even an expert on old piano accordions let alone button boxes. Thanks bob
