They look a lot like the original tires that I have on my A2T which are Onza labeled. I don't know that Onza actually made them, but that's the only brand on them. Tread pattern even looks the same.

Are white wall tires very valuable?

Just wondering how good a deal this bike is. The owner claims the tires are in good shape and she only rode the bike a couple dozen times, although the gear or something is broken, so who knows?

My whitewalls dry-rotted after about 10 years of hanging upside down in the garage.

Most likely the grease solidified in the shifter and the little lever inside isn't falling in to the detents. very common for the old rapidfires to not click into position past certain gears or at all when the grease dried up, which often happened after they stopped having regular use
