vintage incense?

By superking, 5 March, 2011
Description

 I found a box of old incense, and can't help but think there must be some value here, I know that there are some fairly old ones here, and some pretty spendy ones as well. There are 15 packages of incense: 1-30gm. tube of Mysore Sughandi Dhoop factory Silver Jubilee sealed with celophane intact, dated 1959. 1-30gm. tube of Mysore Sughandi Arab-ka Soudagar, opened, but with celophane intact, no date.  1 tiny package (no weight listed) of Sri Narataja Flour Mills & Perfumery Works Nataraja Diamond incense, undated (can't help but think it must be old though, has a 4 digit phone number "3893"). 1 small package (25 sticks, but again, weight not given) Mysore Sugandhi Dhoop Factory 999 Lord Krishna Puja Agarbatti - specially made for Puja, undated.  2 small packages (no weight given) Sri Nataraja Flour Mills & Perfumery Works Royal-Family Durbar Bathi, undated (Regd. N0 155445).1-30gm. package Mysore Sugandhi Dhoop Factory Gateway of India Indian Bouquet, undated. 1 small (16 cone) half-iused box of Mysore Sugandhi Dhoop Factory Gateway of India exclusive formula refreshing breeze of Lavender, undated. 2-40gm. tubes of Mysore Sugandhi Dhoop Factory Janaki Agarbatti, celophane intact undated. 1-40gm. tube of Mysore Sugandhi Dhoop Factory Kasturi Agarbatti, sealed, celophane intact, undated. 2 boxes (14 small thick sticks ea.) Mysore Sugandhi Dhoop Factory 100% pure Lord Krishna Puja Dhoop, (undated, but as with all the others, looks very old). 2 boxes (8 sticks ea.) Laxmi Dhoop, maker not named in english, probably Mysore, says "One stick lasts for 2 hours" and Regd. no 147757, with the words "New Special" stamped on top of the boxes, again undated, but looks pretty old. Any help as to dating or value of these items would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
