Nope "Snowflake" is wrong.

Correct!

1. You can see it in winter,
Never in summer
Even though it is as light
As a feather, the mightiest
Man in the north can hold it
For long.

2. Every creature in the world
Has seen it.
But to their dying day
they'll never see
The same one again.

3. Kingdom soldiers will
Look like it,
When the headsman
Gives them a lop.
For then, like it, they'll
Have a neck
But not a head on top.

I'm worried that this is going to end up like the last one.  However, 2 and 3 are correct.  To help things along a bit,

Spoiler

The first one is a device that was used both in the middle ages and today.

No helicopter is wrong.  It's not quite so modern.

Okay people obviously lost interest with the old riddles.  The answer to the number 1 riddle I put up was:

Colts

1. Two legs it has,
And this will confound
Only at res,
Do they touch the ground.

2. She has tasteful friend
And tasteless enemies
Tears are often shed on her behalf
Yes never has she broken a heart.

3. In all the world, none can compare,
To this tiny weaver his deadly cloth
So silky and fair.

A coin slot?

2 and 3 are correct but 1 is not.

1. What has a mare,
That the cow has not?

2. This side of a wolfhound
Has the most hair.

3. Its orange eye blinks,
The burning tears flow.
But what its sorrow is,
None may ever know.

I just Googled the answer to the wagon one, and it is terrible.

Well, if you Googled the answer, then put it up so we can get on with the rest of them.

1 is correct, 2 is close enough (it was just name), but 3 is wrong.

"Wall" was correct.

1. Never resting, never still.
    Moving silently, hill to hill.
    It does not walk, run or trot,
    All is cool where it is not.

2. Passed from father to sin,
    And shared between brothers.
    Its importance is unquestioned,
    Though it is used more by others.

3. What goes with a wagon that
    Doesn't benefit the wagon,
    But the wagon cannot move without.

1 and 2 are right but not 3.

The answer to the riddle is:

Spoiler

Wagon

[close]

1. We don't need wine,
   We don't need meat.
   We have sharp teeth,
   But cannot eat.

2. It stands while others sit.
   It groans when it is too full.
   It has four legs, but cannot run.

3. It goes past gates,
   But asks no one's leave.
   It runs clear around castles,
   Without taking a step.

Wrong on both.  The answer to the riddle will only make sense if you know a bit of something about what a part of a certain machine is called.

Nope. "Clock" is wrong.

Correct on both.

Yes to all, though the first one is a generalist thing you could have also used: Musician or Bard.

1. Widows and orphans
Parents and kin.
This is disturbed most
By riots and war.

2. It can move over water,
But it cannot fly.
It can move under water,
But can stay quite dry.

3. Has tongue,
But cannot talk.
Runs,
But cannot walk.

1. Who works when he plays,
And plays when he works?

2. Names give power,
Magic to control.
But what is broken,
By naming it?

3. The language of men,
Can be mastered.
But what Kingdom word
Is always pronounced wrong?

THANK YOU!  Wow!  This is one of those things that I thought was lost to me.  I've been searching for so many things that I remember but never got to see again.  I almost thought my mind just made it up.

The word is:

"Message"

"How old is this" = age
"mess" = mess.

So it is mess age.
