Myself ... i would probably just toss it all in the junk pile with all of the other obsolete stuff and not waste any time with it. ( I live in the moment. )
Someone else might find value in it. Old forgotten items from the past might have great meaning for them. ( Some folks live in the past. It's especially so with the elders that are really getting on in years. They don't have much of a future so they live for the past. )

Excellent comment Hills, we baby boomers inherited our parents fortunes. Death is inevitable, if the youth have not learned from their elders then history will repeat itself.
I'm an elder AKA senior, most of what I know about scrapping was learned form those now long gone. The good paying trades have schooling then long apprenticeships. Being a successful scrapper does not offer either, and that is what this forum is all about, teaching others the trade, learning from others sharing of their hard earned knowledge.
Just as my father had left me his legacy, my children will benefit from mine when I'm gone.
I almost feel sorry for ya Hills.
