Dear SW1,
It is always difficult to estimate the value of an object without
having to see it, and its condition. The best thing for you would be
to try to get it evaluated by an expert, who could identify its
current market value in relation to its general condition (as you've
said, without the wooden base and the glass cover).
However, there are indications that might give you an estimate: -
In 1996, the Canadian House LUNDS Auctioneers & Appraisers Ltd. (See
Item 15, <http://www.lunds.com/auctions/archive/antique/roelant/roelant.htm>)
estimated an item similar to the one you describe (Lambrecht's brass
polymeter) at 200-400 CND [$140-300 USD].
As I mentioned before, these estimates often depend on the condition
of the item itself.
I hope this answered your question. In order to find an answer to your
question, I have searched with these terms:

I have also searched eBay <www.ebay.com> for auctions on the subject
that would help to estimate, without success (but as you might know,
eBay goods change constantly).
If you need any clarifications on this answer, be sure to ask me
before you rate/tip this answer. I'd be pleased to clarify my answer. |
