The answer is yes- they are worth something, but probably not that much.

Do any of them have any names or markings on them? They all look to be in generally 'well used' shape, but are there any major structural issues with any of them?

These are some, not all, of the contributing factors as to what a pipe is worth.

Two Rhodesians and a falcon plus some billiard in first phot. What looks like a Peterson or WDC small bent billiard, a vest pocket, a small calabash and corn cob in second photo.

They probably aren't worth much considering what bad shape they are in. But you never know what somebody will give you if they liked the pipes. Considering that you don't have a clue as to how to clean up the pipes they probably aren't worth what it would cost you to have them cleaned.
It might be interesting to look at the calabash to be sure it doesn't have a silver band and is very old.
