Maybe a "paper-patched bullet"-ed cartridge?

whoops! You already know what it is. Don't know what gun uses it.

Almost certainly these are german 11mm mauser cartridges for the 71/84
mauser-note the flat nose, that is for use in a tube magazine, like a winchester.Also note the mauser "A" base which results in a very thick rim about 090 thick,as the US 45-70 of the same era had a rim of .070 thick.

Thanks...are they worth anything?

Not sure, there have been a few 11mm mausers 1871/88 in the market lately. SOmeone might want original rounds (if thats what they are) to go with their antique.
