Forgot I put these in a Hardy Boys book
about 12 years ago. I have not researched them all yet,
but looks like there could be some value here!
I had no idea these could be worth anything.

Enjoy

Meters can be very interesting and that wikibooks site is very useful for meters of all countries. I didn't see anything rare or unusual in your batch of Pitney Bowes meters in the first picture. The ones that tend to have more value are very early ones, experimentals, lesser known machine types, more unusual face values or colors and other minor types and details. There's also can be slogans that the website doesn't cover that's interesting to some collectors. Of course full covers are preferred - many of which can be had for fairly cheap and one can build a nice collection just by rooting around in dealer's bargain boxes.

Many of the users of the first series of meters posted can be identified by searching this work:
