Default Help with rod info please

I have been given 4 rods from a friend and I was hoping you experts could help me identify them while also pointing me in the right direction of line weights, what there worth in poor state, meaning a few eyes missing, ferrels need attention or replacing, cork handles chipped and need varnishing. Maybe thease rods aren't worth the effort but I'm considering buying them off him to restore as a hobby, heres a list below - What do you think and can you help me please?

1/ 9ft, 3 piece, Palakoma - H15802 - Inscription reads (LRH Dry Wet)

2/ 9ft 3 piece - Reel seat inscribed (Alnwick J A Walker) with Screw tight ferrels

4/ Another Palakoma 7ft 2 piece inscription (The Hardy Wanless 9/10lb) feels like a pike rod but what do I know, no pics .

Many thanks for reading

Probably 3 Hardy's
The LRH Palakona
The Wanless was a Hardy spinner
The Walker was probably made by Hardy because it has their patented screw lock fitting(and it was made in Alnwick)
Can't help with the 8'er.
All certainly worth the effort to restore.
