This subject just will not die (no pun intended). I'll

I think it would be useful to the history of DMC if we brought these up.
Even if they were not usable in production, I am sure they would have
museum value, not to mention, you would have the specs for new dies at your
fingertips without the R& D. Maybe they can be rebuildable? I think it is
at least worth looking into.
