Found these in my string drawer. Taken from basses I've bought over the years, I have no idea what they are.
Thanks.

No. 1

No. 1 looks like D'Addario Chromes, although the ball on the end doesn't really look like D'addario, so I could be wrong. No idea on the other two.

No. 2 is a D'Addario Helicore Orchestral string, heavy gauge.

Correct.

#1 is a Jargar Dolce
#3 is an Original Flexocor (a *true* Original, when there was only one Flexocor around; pre-1992)

Old Reliable comes through again.
This has been going on for years, folks.
