If they are below 1000pf (.001) odds are pretty good that they were mica. That doesn't make them 'good', though! They are rather fragile now and twisting them on their leads to see the other side and messing with them in general often finishes them off. If they were paper then consider them 'done for' anyway, regardless of brand.
