I have this new old stock aluminum kick plate(?). I was wondering where they are attached. The label on the box is partially gone. Are they worth anything or should I just throw them away?

What's the best/least damaging way to install these? Sheet metal screws? Drill & nail? Self-tapping stainless steel screws?

Stainless steel and aluminum is a bad mix due to increased corrosion of the aluminum. Better brass or bronze screws, perhaps with chrome finish.
