Do these have value?

I am looking to clean out some of my old sharpening equipment. I have two items from about 1972 that I've hardly used.

Both are by Gerber.

One is a hard Arkansas stone about 1 1/2" x 4". It is attached to a wooden base and a wood top fits over it to form a rectangular box.

The second item is a "Sportsmen Steel" still in the original cardboard box and leather sheath with the instruction sheet. It is 3/4" x 1/4" x 5" and has a hole in the top with a rawhide landyard running through that hole.

Do these have any value?

I also have a Lansky system with 3 stones and a pedestal base (the metal kind) that I've hardly used. The base is still in the packaging.
 
I like the old Gerber Sportsman's steels and still use one occasionally to touch up an edge. I do not know what collector value there is. I would be interested in the steel if you decide to sell it.
 
dfcrane - I sent you an "email". I'm not sure how that works but apparently this forum doesn't have a private messaging system like most.
