This thread reminds me of the dilemma of the "ueber-rich" car collector. He does not drive his cars, but collects them, and keeps them stored in a climate-controlled garage. Originally, these cars were intended to be used as transportation. But as a result of "the ravages of time", only a few of them come to be in existence today. They then become valuable to some people. These artifacts are simply a representation of a particular time. They are only valuable to those who value them. For the majority of people, these parts are worthless, and won't bring more than $1.00 at a garage sale. Do with them what you wish.... .
