Default matching number mufflers

I just replaced my entire exhaust system, it just occurred to me that these may be the original 48 year old mufflers sitting on my garage floor waiting to be taken to the dump. I see an 8 with several other numbers. Do I just throw these out or put them away some place? My 1969 was a december/68 build date.
OR perhaps I am losing my mind for even asking

If it makes sense for you to keep rusted out mufflers, just keep them. Also, you might be a hoarder if you do so.
