I refinished them & keep em in my lil car. I have another set of 3 with the lockable holder bolted to the dump box by the drivers door. Here\'s a set from them that may be like yours on Ebay

Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P
