OLD Soldering Iron Questions/Help?

[Greatwhitewing]

I have some old irons and tips I inherited from my Dads tools. He was an AT&T inside service guy for years. I have working 25, 30 and 50 watt but could use something larger.

These tips pictured don't have an iron. Is it worth finding an iron or get something new and chuck these? The threads the tips on the left measure between .403"-.410" in diameter.

This larger length tip on the right is about 5/8" dia on the large end and 1/4" on the removable tip end. The bag appears to be a replacement tip from GE.

Off hand those look like Weller tips and should be standard for modern soldering irons as well.
