I love the expression "shed fossils"!
This is a difficult one, but the general dating must be close.

Yes, the earliest machine is the 7F job.
Note the rotary hand-wheel for height is placed forward.
I think this was to accommodate the Villiers 7F.
[Earlier chassis had a mid mounted wheel, I think].

The 7F was released here in late 1957, so 1958 would be a safe bet.

The middle machine is little understood.
It's the Rover Economy:

I would like to see the engine numbers on that one.
Best guess, 1960-61, not really possible for 1959.

The last machine is the 19" Royal.
I think 1963 is a sensible date for that one.
I think this is a Torque Major (rather than the smaller 7F).

Rover is a difficult one - because they had not made any real impact
in the southern markets (NSW and VIC) in the 1950s..

Many thanks for saving these machines.
