I have the following two sextants.  They are of no use to me.  I can't get
any response out of Celestaire as to whether they'd be interested in buying
them, though they apparently do buy surplus sextants for rebuilding and
resale.  I'd be interested in seeing them go to someplace which would give
them "a good home".  I'm interested in getting some value in return for
them.  I'd particularly like to turn them (magic wand?) into an Astra or
equivalent  marine sextant.  Does anyone in the group have any ideas or
suggestions?

Both appear to be in good to very good condition , but I can't speak to
their functional condition.
