Thanks for the help! I don't know if I'll talk her into entering the late 20th century or not, but figure I should try. However, my nightmare is that I'll take it to some broker who's never even seen these things, and they'll get lost in the system.

So presumably she held the certificates directly in her own name, not in street name through a broker or otherwise, which should mean that she is listed by the company as a direct stockholder. That would mean she would be getting proxies, etc., assuming she kept the company up to date as to any change of address etc.
You can email whoever, attaching photos of them, to see if they can handle them. You should definitely get a receipt from whoever you give them to, and also make sure you understand how they intend to handle them (convert the ownership into street name or what).
Presumably she could also just cash them out if that is her preference.
