I have some old SAE Sockets in the ranges 5/16, 3/8, 7/16, 1/2, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, 3/4, 13/16, 3/4, 13/16 and 7/8 of an inch. Are these useful for anything?
I have a couple of 90s Jap cars and a 2000s Euro, but no American or old British cars and am unlikely to buy anything like that.

A lot of the sizes might be handy when you need a second socket some time. They aren't perfect but the 5/16, 9/16, 5/8, 11/16, and 3/4 are all close enough to metric sizes to use, and the 13/16 and 7/8 will do at a pinch if things aren't too tight.

Every now and then you get a badly rusted or rounded bolt head and having the slightly tighter sae sockets ready to hammer on can be the difference between life and death. Figuratively. Metaphorically.

You might need them again with the chinese stuff coming into our market, I have a chinese built industrial waterpump that has a great mix of imperial and metric fastenings.
