I can, but I doubt that pumpkin seeds over 80 years old would still be viable unless they were kept in a freezer. I don't think being sealed in a jar in someone's basement is enough. Not something I'd spend money to find out, but there is bound to be a buyer somewhere who is curious enough to try it.
