I've got a quantity (heaped builder's wheelbarrow) of antique lawn or
border edging blocks that my wife refers to as "aniseed twists".

See photo:

Has anyone got any idea what these are really called,

Barley twist or rope top tiles.

or how to best describe them,

That depends on how pedantic the people you're selling them
to are.

and what they are worth?

The above information might be a help in deciding.

They're probably a bit too heavy for eBay, dunno.

Architectural salvage companies probably do a good trade
in them. If there's one nearby.
