An interesting find, to be sure!

First on your list of things to do is determine whether these are high pitch or low pitch instruments. Look for "HP" and "LP" inscribed onto the instrument bodies.
Failing that, you'll have to check with a tuner.

If these are low pitch instruments and undamaged, there's a good chance they could be fixed up and played in modern ensembles. The Simple and Albert system clarinets still have their devotees even today, and the C clarinet you have might be of special interest to these players.
