I imagine they are as the legs were- 
hidden away and long forgotten.
There's probably a big box containing 120 BC-474 bags
sitting in a barn in Scratchyitch, Iowa.  They've been
there since 1954, when Farmer Clem bought them from
the surplus auction at the long-closed Army base nearby.
He was going to use them for fishing tackle and tool pouches,
when he "got around to it."  
Since Clem went to the Great Corn Shuckin' in the sky in 1996,
the kids have been squabbling over the estate and the field
mice have been safe in their canvas homes.

Unless a barn scrounger finds them,
they will be right there until
the barn burns down or the end of time,
which ever comes first. 
We barn scroungers are few and reviled, so don't get your hopes up.
