Identifying glassware

[TOTAL IDIOT]

Hello, new to the forum here, glad to have found it, looks like a great place in which I look forward to contributing a bit and reading a ton!

I've recently purchased the entire contents of an older biotechnology lab, which will surely supply much fodder for posts in the coming months. I appreciate all types of science, but I'm a fisheries biologist whose lab experience doesn't typically go much beyond dissection kits and light microscopes. My plan is to sell some of the equipment to recover my expenditures, keep some neat stuff for myself, donate some to local schools and 'maker spaces', etc. The first thing I'm dealing with is a fair amount of glassware, probably a couple thousand pieces consisting of lots of typical stuff - various flasks, beakers, funnels, condensers, pipets, etc. 

My question is, what is the most efficient way for me to identify what a specific piece of glassware is called? Some of the pieces have no markings on them whatsoever (such as first photo attached). The second photo shows a piece (I know that is a type of condenser) marked only with "Kimax USA". The third photo is a 2000ml separatory funnel, labelled nicely with a few numbers. I know 'no. 6404' refers to the model, but what do the two numbers mean to the left and right of the main white labelling spot? To the left, there is a 'ts' symbol followed by 27; to the right, there is a 'ps' symbol, then '6mm'. Do these mean 'stopper' and 'pour spout'? If anyone can suggest any online resources, or comprehensive guides to styles and function of glassware, I'd be very interested. 

Also, among the loot were several large pyrex tubes with ribbed ends, in such sizes as 7ft long by 3" internal diameter, 5ft by 5.5", 6ft by 5.5", 7ft by 1.5" etc. Even looking online, I cannot find any pyrex tubes of comparable size for sale, nor any mention of them or their use. Any insight?

Finally, for the glassware I'm not going to keep or donate, can anyone suggest potential good options to sell it? I could put some on ebay, I guess. I'm aware of Labx.com, and I'm sure there are other similar sites. I'm in British Columbia, Canada, I'll certainly look locally for people starting up labs. Any suggestions, I'm all ears. 

 

Thanks, I look forward to hearing your input.

The first item is a sprayer/ atomiser.

A bit like this one

On the sep funnel the  ST refers to standard taper- the size + shape of the stopper

I'm less sure about the ps 6mm

I think it refers to the tap.

If someone pulls up in an old motorhome, don't sell him anything.
