Welcome to Strat-Talk!
What @ThreeChordWonder said. They're PA speakers that will likely sound like trash with guitar.
Likely the transformers are for 70 V. distribution and the secondary is 8 Ohms. Trash them, too.

The way to find out is to try them in an appropriate cabinet or combo amp.

They look quite old, and they are made-in-China overhead speakers for an office intercom.
I agree with ThreeChordWonder;
They are trash-worthy.
Or, on second thought..........

knock the magnets off then. They come in handy for picking up dropped screws etc

Key is sizing the cabinet you can put them in.

Look up YouTube channel Eric Shreds and he has a few episodes on putting jacks on practice amps out to cabinets.

Be careful doing this. I almost killed my Monoprice 15w combo trying this with a "shunted jack" when I didn't even need to do it lol. I still need to put 2 normal jacks in it, though, so I can easily run other amps to it's Celestion speaker.
I actually just hooked one up on my Mustang II so I could run the Monoprice amp through the Mustang's speaker. Surprisingly, it wasn't all bassy like it is in the Mustang. That tells me they purposely designed the Mustang to have too much bass and then they made it so you can't even dial enough out.
All this time, I assumed it was the speaker and/or enclosure that was helping it be far too bassy. Nope. It's programmed that way and it sounds terrible.
