Some early brand-name PCs used proprietary risers for RAM expansion. The middle card looks like it came from Compaq Deskpro. Not sure about the other two. . . .

Well, you'd have to label them all as "Full Length Proprietary RAM Expansion Card" with no warranty, starting bid $0.01.

As far as branding goes, a lot of companies only brand the things they sell separately. If these cards were initially installed in a PC (or some other box) as part of the main RAM bus, then they probably wouldn't have been branded. But at least one of those number sequences is likely to be a part number.

I would just strip the RAM and toss the boards. It's unlikely you'll find a buyer for hardware that can't be identified. . . .
