Those are the last version of the Super Record brakes, early to mid-80s. The perforated levers probably go with them. They might have come with a bike with bars that had the Almarc treatment, or a leather covering, which could account for the lack of bands and mounting bolts. These shouldn't be too hard to come by--just buy an otherwise trashed set of levers on eBay. The rear brake has two right pad holders. Incredibly unsafe in their current configuration, but it looks like you have a few extra holders. Is one of them a left? The ones for these calipers should be aluminum, not steel.

If you are looking for maximum return, you might search for similar parts on eBay, under Completed Items. Or you could pick a price and offer them to the list and see if anyone wants them. They look to be in nice shape. You can get recessed nuts for these almost anywhere to replace the seatpost binder bolt on that one caliper. On the other hand, it looks kind of cool, though it probably wouldn't fit the counterbore on most frames.

Looks like a version of the Chorus derailleur to me. So do those aero brake levers.

See response to #1. Someone who crashes on a lever (like I did, just today) might want them for parts.

Valuing parts like this is a highly subjective art. I believe that treating this list as some kind of Antiques Road Show is frowned upon.
