I'm not sure about Paladin, there's a few companies by that name. One of which deals in industrial implements.
But as far as rigging manufacturers they'd be an unknown. However, I'd bet these are actually Crosby G209 that Paladin was reselling. G209 are galvanized, standard issue top shelf shackles. So a 3/4" pin would be 4.75 tons.
It looks like some big ones in there, too. A Crosby 4.75t goes for probably $30 normally so this could be a serious reselling opportunity. But you might also get unneeded stuff from a construction crane outfit so end up stuck with a crap ton of 12t and 25t shackles that you'll never get rid of.
Well, unless you get hooked up with a bro-dozer forum and they all want a 17 lbs 13.5t shackle hanging on their rear tow point.

Maybe a crap ton of really fun trophies!
I have one "big" shackle in my kit that is helpful if you're connecting up multiple anchors to one point. But yah its a boat anchor.

If you cover your costs good shackles are good steel, easy to weld into stuff. Yeah, man.

Yep. Saving trees, one strap at a time. 🤣

Just imagine all that had to be laid waste for the oil to make the polyester to save trees.

Where is all of this and how does one bid?
EDIT: Figured it out.

If we can figure out what they are, where and who made and how labeled, I'd maybe go in on these items.
Are you all bidding? No reason to bid against each other.

I have not placed a bid, but I'd go in with you on it.

I cannot develop any confidence in this brand. Seems to be "Paladin Industrial" http://www.usapaladinindustrial.com/Contact.aspx?ClassID=5
I read a website off one image label and got a security warning and then found a website for sale. Off another label I got www.usapaladinindustrial.com I sent a "contact us" and received a message: "您的请求带有不合法的参数，谢谢合作！" Translated from Chinese to: "Your request contains illegal parameters, thank you for your cooperation!" (all attempts got the same message). TRANSLATED FROM THE ORIGINAL CHINESE! Say no more, but:
Calling shackles 209 may also be to confuse people.
Only place I can find their products are Roller and other auction sites
Webbing eyes are flat which is not great for our shackles. Folded eyes are better.
Sling label has typos and slings don't appear to have warning threads (warning of overloading)
On the plus side, there are a couple fire trucks for sale!

I would be surprised if it had a "6:1 SAFRTY FACTOR" or a "15" SAFETY FACTOR". Both seem suspect to me. lol.

Yeah, not much confidence in those messages... 🥴
I was looking at the bobcat skid steers.

They've currently got a lot of skid steers and CTLs up this week, for pretty low prices. I'd expect them to come up in price significantly, ESPECIALLY the high flow machines. That Yanmar is pretty nice.
