    Nice find! I wouldn't scrap those right away though. Brass gears can be quite pricey. I can't tell from the pic, but it looks unused. I would do a bit of research before scrapping them. Just my $0.02.

    There is the "Steam Punk" market as well.

    Put them on E-bay with steam punk in the title.

    How much do they weigh?
