A little bit of advice re Blocks please

Hi from down under. I have been away for some time and hope everyone has been well.
Would appreciate some experienced advice.
I have inherited some very serious looking blocks with the purchase of my Adams 44 and I am only assuming they may have been given to the original owner who maybe was going to trade them for something a little more suitable for the Adams.

These blocks ( see pics ) are very big and IMHO would not look out of place on a 70+ yacht.They are the "Penguin " brand which is stamped made in the US.

There is :

5 x 175mm double sheave blocks
2 x 200mm double sheave blocks
1 x massive 350 sheave block.

does anyone know this brand,what they would be worth and more importantly is there anyone out there who can use them.??
They are really nice blocks but a 44 Adams is not even a look in for these.

If anyone is interested or knows someone who is building a large yacht please pm me with some contact details.

Regards to all.
John
