[Homestead] "Old" apple trees - How to identify?

Folks,

An earlier post mentioned caring for heritage apple trees instead of  
taking them out.  We  live in a house first started in 1780 or so,  
and at the edge of the back yard are a couple of apple trees that  
"seem" that old.  In any case they are both quite at the end of their  
life spans.

How do we figure out if they are desirable old varieties?  Maybe  
there's someone around here we could invite to come see them who  
knows all about old types of apples.
