Answer:
Damaged dinnerware generally holds little value because collectors seek pieces in excellent condition. The items on your list are common pieces and most of them have damage.

Crazy Rhythm is a pattern produced from the mid 1950s and into the early 1960s. It sold moderately well then and continues to be moderately popular with collectors today. A collector building a set of Crazy Rhythm may be interested your lot to fill gaps in his or her collection. Some collectors will accept damaged pieces to use as "placeholders" until replacements in better condition are available. But the price such a collector would be willing to pay would not be much, perhaps $25 to $35 for the lot.
