Don't know anything about Old Patriarch, probably some kind of private label. Old Mock was Stitzel-Weller, in the 30s. Old Mr. Boston is, presumably, part of the whole Mr. Boston line. Based on the Old Mock, they're all probably early post-Prohibition. As for value, read the sticky note at the top of the thread. "Worth" is extremely subjective.

I had a taste of pre-pro Old Mock at Delilah's in Chicago a year or so back -- didn't know it was S-W (and if so, I'm not sure it was wheat recipe!)
