Hi Guys, Wanted to get your expert opinion on those hangers. Are those Social Welfare and if so what they are worth nowadays?

I don't know what these hangers are supposed to be. They are not Social Welfare as those hangers have a grey stripe and squared buckles. They are similar to Red Cross hangers but the stripe is not correct as the Red Cross hangers have thin red outline stripes not a solid one such as this.

Red Cross officer a most likely option here. How much do they go for?

Original Red Cross hangers do look in details very different to these hangers shown here. For me it is a clear attempt to fake RC hangers.
Regards.

Hmmm...if a fake a very good one. If you look at the gaing on the metal, the engravings... must say a master work.

In my humble opinion a very bad fake by somebody who did not know the real structure of original RC hangers. Perhaps used some original hardware parts but I am not sure about that from these pics, could also be a total fake.
Here are real RC hangers,
