I don't keep emails long as I get too many. Here is a pretty good sample of where I've been and what I've found out.

Ah, now I see. Netball 3 never came to me originally. This is definitely
basketball. Once again they are seals, Do you know if they are part of a
set? Or maybe they are part of a collection from different sources, a seal
collector. I promise that there are a lot of them, just look on ebay. The
fact that they are the same size and shape doesn't necessarily mean that
they are part of the same group, there was (and indeed still is) a standard
form for these. I'll go home and sleep on it, if I receive inspiration I'll
contact you tomorrow with the divine answer. Otherwise I'll just give you a
few more possibilities.
All the best

These look like old hot stamping dies that a trophy shop would use.
They would have no value at all

Daryl,
Thank you for your email. These dies look like they are used in foil stamping, although I could not pinpoint the machine they are used for.

Hello & Thank You for your message,
I don’t know what they are, but they’re not foil stamp dies. If they were, the image would be reversed.
Thank You !

Daryl,
That's a very interesting find! In order to answer your question, I
would need to know how you intend to use them. While I am not familiar with the original purpose of these dies, it would appear that they have some connection with USA Volleyball, so you might contact that National Governing Body for more insight. Generically speaking, the interlocking ring logo known as the Olympic Symbol is registered to the USOC, and as one of our trademarks, it may not be used for commercial purposes. The USOC does not have any registration with respect to the other two images, and again, I encourage you to contact USAVolleyball to determine
whether they have any historical value.

I checked with the Match Director of the USA Shooting National Shotgun
Championships that took place in Kerrville, Texas in June and
unfortunately, she has no idea what these items might be. You might
want to contact the Hill Country Shooting Sports Center in Kerrville,
where the event was held to see if they happen to know what those items
are. Their email address is:

Thank you for sending these images. This is not the type of die we use, either on embossing presses or for printing techniques such as diestamping or copperplate, and so we are not sure as to how they are used.
The hexagonal shape in very unusual and suggests that they are locked into position by screwing in the whole block. They certainly look heavy duty enough to press metal, so could have been used by in a metal badge process - although this is guesswork!
Good Luck

Hi Daryl,
No sorry I have never seen these before. However the emblem on the back looks like basketball which may mean that all of them are some how related to this. Good luck with your quest.
