What to do with old surf rods?

I apologize in advance if I posted in the wrong forum. I've been organizing my basement which means going through gear. I hate to throw away gear. But what would you do with custom surf rods from the late 1980's? Any value?

These are fiberglass and S-glass (amber/brown looking fiberglass) Lamiglas blanks built by Dave Hammock (Charlie Murat's son-in-law).

I collected all my Murat rods from my parents house and I have 8 of them:
3, 11 footers with one being a 2-piece
2, 9.5 footers
1, 8'
1, 7.5'
1, 7' - real stout spinner

Now that I've played with these rods a little it occurred to me that they have the right amount of forgiveness to cushion no-stretch braid.

I'm gonna keep 1, 9.5' footer and 1, 11' for nostalgia purposes. Here are some pictures that may bring back memories for some:
