I would go with C. ponderosa myself, I have almost identical specimens in my collection.

#1 may be Casmaria erinacea or Casmaria ponderosa, not sure which from the picture.  Some forms of the two species are quite similar.  I agree with Raffy's other ID's, and the ? Terebra is Terebra nebulosa  Sowerby, 1825.

Hello Dave r, could this be also a C. ponderosa? This is very small and matured.

Looks like it Raffy, it is a very variable shell with many named forms.

Thanks for the new knowledge Paul on the Terebra! And thanks also for the confirmation on the C. ponderosa!
Cheers!
