If you do decide to get rid of them, at least scan them and save them on your computer along with a backup CD. As, others have said, there might be a market out there for those little pieces of history. Is there a historical society in your town? They might be interested.
I'd love to sit down and go through a box like that, even if it wasn't from my own family!
