Metal Clarinet

I just recently bought an old metal clarinet for $5 at a music store. It is about 100 years old. The body of the instrument is fine, but the pads on it are shot. Should I pay the money to get the old thing repaded so that it plays, or should I just leave it the way it is for decoration? I own a buffet and a selmer too, so the metal clarinet would never be played as my primary clarinet. But, I think it would be amusing to take to band and play it. Should I repair it, or leave it as decoration?

Thanks, Erika
