This was surprisingly easy to investigate. The attached snip from a collection of US trade documents dated July 14, 1925, answers all your questions
Jacques L. Galef and Son were a large importer and wholesaler of guns in New York City at 85 Chambers Street.
As for present value, unless you find a collector with a special interest, these are little regarded, as the quality is difficult to gauge and their reputation, in some cases unjustified, not the best.
