svorecb, I believe you're looking at Turkish 8mm (7.9x57mm) ammunition.

Definitely Turkish 8mm Mauser ammo, made in 1942 for use in their 8mm bolt-actions; the "o" in "ToC" is actually a star over a crescent.

"are they worth anything"
Not really. Maybe 50 cents to a dollar each if you were to try to sell them at a cartridge show.
