Default Old Estes rockets

I have two assembled rockets that I bought when I was in jr high school. One is a Mars Snooper and the other is a Big Bertha. I flew the Mars Snooper a couple of times and it flew well. The Big Bertha was never flown because of the 3 engine cost and the problems of getting 3 motors to start simultaneously. Both were purchased in the 1965-66 timeframe. The MS has the original albeit slighty burnt chute intact. The BB has no chute.

Just wondering if they have any collectable value to anyone? I have contacted Estes as well to inquire about any interest as well. Not kits, they are assembled and painted with laquer paint from my g'pa's pattern shop back in the day.
