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

Has anyone got any idea what these are really called, or how to best
describe them, and what they are worth?

They look like repro concrete based imitations. The colour is wrong and as
such I do not think you will get a lot for them.
