Help in selling of letterpress equipment

My father retired from newspapers and printing a few years ago. He is now attempting to see if anyone would be interested in the mothballed printing equipment and type. He originally was hoping to create a printing museum; but he is no longer pursuing this. He has two or three Chandler & price presses, two Linotype machines, (some of which did work until they were too costly to use; with the use of offset). The presses did run, but have no rollers to speak of. They have rotted away years ago. He also has many cabinets of type; both metal and wood.
If anyone could help “point us the right direction” on what to do, please respond.
