You didn't say what engine you're building but I'll assume it's a small block chevy. If your valve covers have the staggered bolt pattern like the ones in the picture, they'll only fit '55 thru '58 heads. If they have a straight across bolt pattern they will fit any other year chevy head (except for the newer style center bolt heads).
What are they worth?.....There are a bunch of them for sale on ebay so you can go there to see what they're selling for.

Your "top-less" cruzn buddy, Denise
This is where an edit feature would be handy.
I borrowed the pic from an ebay auction so I can't go delete the pic from it's source.
It wasn't that big on the auction site.
Kinda like what Adam said to Eve after he ate the apple....
