Ok, got this house, and we are cleaning out the basement and found this HUGE stash of RtR's. Not sure if they are worth anything, but they look professional grade. (To my untrained eye)

They were in these two cabinets that were left in the basement before it was taken over by the bank. I hadn't ever really looked at them before, as a bunch of junk was left, as the original occupants must have exited stage left rather quickly... but when my wife wanted to pitch them all, I thought I'd ask if they could have any value.

Any way to tell if they are worth anything? Or should I just pitch them? :D

    Are they 7" or 10" in diameter?

    Big is very good.

    Ok cool. I'll dig thru them all tomorrow and see what I can find out. I think they are only 7" in diameter, but I'll double check them.
