The first one could be "Santa Maria", the second "Nina" ...

... but I am hesitant to identify the "Pinta" in the third dial. Together, this could be memorative of the 1492 journey of Christopher Columbus. Were they offered as a set maybe? The fourth one seems to show a shebec from the mediterranean. Nice dials! On
