Without information as to its possible company of origin or perhaps a picture of your toys,  I cannot accurately tell you because the value of collectable toys vary --- some companies toys are worth more than others just like comic books. In an example if you had an original  1980's mattel   GI Joe figure --- lets say its  Cobra Commander,  and at the same time you had another version of Cobra Commander made in the early 1990's,  one version may have been popular than the other and would make the difference between a 900.00 figure versus a  28.00 figure.  If the 1980's version was say --- out of the box, missing its orginal parts, or maybe discolored/damaged,  that would dramatically drop its worth as well.  

I do know that the early 1940's and 30's tinker toys hold some value,  but we would be looking at say, an untouched collection thats still in its packaging.  ( And who did that as a kid!).
