If you just want to know the value of them, I would think you could take a picture of them (showing their condition) and include the size and potential age, then contact the St. Peter mill by email and ask if they could give you a value. This way they could see the pieces of batting and may even recognize them. It would be worth a try.

I'm hoping that someone on this message board will advise me about their value. Besides their sentimental value to me, do these batts have any commercial value if I were to try to sell them?
