Not so much a "what's it worth" as a "would they be worth rescuing". Found at the salvage yard; fairly tragic.

I’d probably salvage them for sturmey archer bits and whatnot, but I’m kind of a vulture. Maybe even fix them up and give them away if they’re in decent shape. I wouldn’t put any work into trying to sell them.

Mid-seventies Dutch sports bikes. Sports as in weighing less than 40lbs.
Practical, yet sporty!
Looks like these two spent most of their lives being knocked about regularly in a (very) damp shed. Tragic indeed. Tires look like they could actually be the original items, and the paint still looks pretty decent. It wouldn't be too hard to rebuild them into a set of nice city bikes. Really.

Thanks, everyone.
@non-fixie, around here everything looks like that if it spends more than a day outside; leave it for a week and it'll come down with a case of lichen. I'll bet you think I'm joking.
