Vintage LeJeune Question

I have two vintage (late 60s / early 70s) LeJeune folding bikes (see pics), and I am trying to figure out if they are worth restoring or not. I am interested in hearing opinions!

Are you in Australia?

If you are looking to restore to make money, forget it. If you want to do it just for fun, go for it.

In US (Massachusetts). Not sure about for use or sell. Are there parts available for bikes like this? I have looked a little, but not seen much.

Possibly challenging and or fun project, tire size as I recall is a bit uncommon, scratch that, very uncommon.
locate replacements first in case, (age is working against you) so you know the costs.
Don't bother looking for whitewalls very hard.

As a potential jackpot? No.
