I compliment you on an admirable Olympus collection. When choosing my own camera in 1981, I seriously considered Olympus, the OM1 in particular. I did bird photography at the time and greatly admired Eric Hosking's 35mm pictures with an Olympus system; his main system at the time was Hasselblad. I was a little hamstrung as I wanted a system 400mm lens and Pentax was the only marque which had a 400mm which I could afford. Even the Zuiko 400mm f/6.3 was more expensive and Olympus' adoption — with suitable publicity by Olympus — by fashion photographers such as Patrick Lichfield et al had already pushed up prices. It was also the only other affordable fully manual camera which had user-interchangeable focussing screens (to obviate microprism blackouts with long lenses. The flagship Nikon and Canon were much more expensive. So a Pentax it was and still is today into the digital age.

It all started when my dad brought home an om1 with the 300, 135/3,5, 50/1,8 and 28 mm lenses on one of my birthdays. He was at the recycling centre and there was a guy wanting to throw the stuff away. My dad asked if he could have it.
I immediately put a roll of film in it and I was sold! Collection grew a lot since then. Happy Dog

if you're not in the field of photography it's hard to know the value of things I guess
This was also quite some years ago, before it became popular to use MF lenses on digital camera's
