Worksman bike?
Im cleaning out my uncles belongings and have come upon two bikes that I would like to see if they are worth selling.

Well, they're made of water pipe - they weigh more than you do - they'll last through a nuclear war. They may be salable via CL, but I wouldn't bet on more than $50 to $100 for them each.

Worksmans are great bikes and they look to be in in pretty good shape. Worksman is also the oldest bike maker in the US and still makes that same bike. It's hard to tell from the photo if the headbadge is a sticker but if it is, then it would be a newer bike. Pricing really depends on your area but assuming that it's adult sized (26" wheels) and all parts are there, in my area it would go for anywhere from $100-$250 depending on age. A brand new one runs about $400-ish right now.

Bikes: No-name LH drive track. Also ride an Exxon Graftek, a Masi, a Trek R200 or a RR Boneshaker for fun!

I only see pics of one bike...? in any case, agree with jcollins especially if you have access to an urban market.
The fact that this is a men's frame helps the value (since guys tend to wreck stuff) and the seemingly original and un-restored condition is a big selling point.
Fenders, chain guards and original pedals and seat? BIG plus!
