How are they packaged? If neatly packaged and free of mold and rot, I would be willing to take them to Kutztown in May and contribute them to the DVHRC Buy-It-Now table. There are collectors of this stuff. But the key is clean packaging as I have limited space and no tolerance for mold or rot - I take my wife's car to Kutztown (Volvo XC70) as it has much more carrying capacity than my little C-Max (and a roof rack for the camping stuff). So, I am careful what I carry.

I am in Melrose Park.

You should donate them to www.archive.org so that they can be
scanned and made available to everyone.

Or perhaps that site that has scans of many old radio and electronic
magazines. I forget the URL. They have some catalogs there.

International Crystal is closting down in a few months, looks like the
owner wants to retire, but surely it's a much smaller business than when
every two way radio needed a pair of crystals per channel.

Anyway, I did find an early seventies ICM catalog. That sort of thing is
great to see again. I can't believe I didn't keep the one Lafayette
catalog I had, or the Olsen catalog, or even the local Etco Electronic
catalogs (well I have one, though the cover and outer pages disappeared a
long time ago).

archive.org has a lot of ham radio magazines, along with other useful
collections. They are attempting to be an archive of everything.

The bigger problem is the Chinese companies that produce the needed
crystals for a few cents each, in large quantities.

My mother threw out my collection, while I was in the military. She
didn't understand that they weren't just catalogs. At least she left my
electronics magazines alone.

Or donate the to the American Radio History site, where they could be
scanned in as well.
