Hi! My name is XXXXX XXXXX X am pleased to assist you.

 

Based on recent similar sales, this item will normally retail in the price range of $135 to $275 to a collector. I recently sold one from 1940 in very similar condition for $225. The price really depends more on the condition of the box and the outside finish of the piece, not on whether it works or not.
