The Devil made me do it.
If they sound good then they are not trash and if they don't then get rid of them one way or another.

I second the request for pics of the back. The nude front resembles a lot of 60s/early 70s speakers.
It looks like the woofer has a cloth surround. Unless there is a port in the back, they are acoustic suspension speakers. With the speaker together, press in the woofer cone and release, If the cone immediately springs back, you will need to re-dope the woofer surround to restore an acoustic seal. The only place to buy the dope compound is from RoyC (here on AK) or from vintage-ar on ebay. Do not use anything else because it will adversely affect the woofer's response. After doping, the bass should be greatly improved.
I would also suggest replacing those old caps. That red-ended Temple cap has a reputation for not aging well.
