Worth Keeping Old Wheelset?

I have an old wheelset I pulled off my road frame when I converted the bike to a fixie, and right now they are just sitting in my garage taking up space. The original bike had a 65 cm Bottecchia frame from around 1970. The I think the wheels are from around the same time. Both wheels have Phil Wood hubs, and Super Champion rims, and that is all I can really tell from just looking at them. Also, the back wheel has a six speed freewheel on it. They could do with some truing, as they probably have not been for about 15-20 years, but I gather that is not too difficult. Are these wheels any good, and are they worth keeping around, or should they be destined for the scrap heap?

Thanks,

-TC
