Are these worth more as collectibles, or just give them to my daughter to practice with?

The “Machine Gun” cartridges I’m familiar with were reputedly a bit higher velocity than standard velocity. May have just been a different powder blend. It may be within the capabilities of a modern +P rated pistol but I would see if you can determine the velocity of this ammo before firing it in a modern pistol. Will need to get an answer about collectibility from someone more knowledgeable in that area.
