I received two new in the box belt guards when I bought my Mark V I don't think I have any use for them, or do I? Keep or sell?

In the good old days, when you purchased an SPT like a bandsaw, jointer, belt sander, etc. Shopsmith included a card that you could mail in to them. The card entitled the buyer to a free belt guard that would be used when building your own power stand for the SPT. The guards are frequently found with used Shopsmiths that have SPT's with them.
