Holy crap, those are so Smithsonian-worthy (but better you play them). Beautiful kit from a by-gone era. Just amazing and the provenance is just as special.

Uncle!! I swear that kit should be kept in a environmentally-controlled, glass enclosure. Time capsules! Those "ginormous" (I have young kids) kick drums are a sight to behold; kinda' remind me of the ones used by the drummer from "Mother's Finest" (BB Queen?, or something like that). Huuuuuuuge!! And, awesome.
