Ron,
I am not a carrier guy but I do dabble in the WW2 or any era stuff from time to time.
I have a convoluted logic when faced with such problems and I will explain if you like, I am not trying to lecture to anyone.
1 There will never be any more of those made
2 Someone will want some at some time in the future, eventually
3 If you can spare some cash buy them even if nothing more than to save them from being melted down.
4 If you have the space to hide them off the ground under a piece of plywood out doors then that is about as good as it will get at the least cost for storage, indoors under a roof is deluxe storage
5 write down what you paid for them so you know.
6 you will likely have your efforts rewarded in kind in another direction somewhere as you look for parts for your vehicles eventually, you are making a karma bank and possibly some cash as well.
7 if you don't save these why would expect someone else to save parts for the vehicle you are looking for parts for?
8 you meet some very interesting people around doing this and have a lot of fun in doing so.
hope this helps
