Anyone who can advise re classic touring wheels?

[Bonefish Blues]

I've had my old handbuilt wheels in the garage since the late 80's and I think they may have some value?

The spec is: 27" Super Champion 58s, stainless single butted spokes, Maxicar hubs F&R. Front is 36, rear is 40 spokes, with their hi-lo hub.

Still as smooth as the proverbial, despite not having turned on a bike in 20 years. I think the Maxicar hubs have become sought after since the company ceased making cycle hubs some years ago - they certainly cost me a small fortune back in 198(3?).

Any info anyone, or a suggestion for a specialist Forum, perhaps?
