Need help valuing some vintage Borsalino hats that I have recently acquired

I recently have received four vintage hats. Three of them are Borsalino Alessandria Grand Prix-Paris 1900. One of the hats says 'velour' on the inside. The other one is a Champs Supreme hat. They all measure size 7 1/4". I was wondering if anyone could help me out with their value and information.

Inside the hats reads as follows:

On the Grey Borsalino’s band there is Dickerson & Co.- Detroit label and inside the band is a company serial number, I think. It says 525P 7962 and underneath that it reads Palladio C. Nera Idorsca 7 1/4.

On the light brown Borsalino the band reads "imported by Block's Toggery. The serial number in this one is 31P 20038 and underneath reads Lino Ludoela 7 1/4.

The Velour Borsalino reads Marshall Field & Company "The Store for Men" on the band. The inside serial number is not legible. I can make out the size of 7 1/4 and possibly the word dolfone. Not too sure on that word being right.

The Champs hat only says XXXX Quality 100% White Coney.


Pictures of them can be found at:

Any help is appreciated and if anyone is interested in purchasing these hats let me know.
