Michelle, check out Caboose Hobbies in Denver. They do a ton of Brass sales both new and consigned. Call them, they can probably tell you what it's worth as they probably have as good of idea of the market as anybody. Here's a link, when you get to it scroll down to the section about 2/3's down called "Consigning with Caboose Hobbies" to get a better feel of their understanding and experience in the brass market. I checked their O scale (non HO) brass section but they don't have anything comparable to your loco for sale at this time. Still, they probably have a real good idea of its value. http://www.caboosehobbies.com/termpage.htm You miight also try The Original Whistlestop in Pasadena. They too have worldwide clientel and deal in brass of all scales. I'm not having much luck with it today but their link is: http://www.thewhistlestop.com/ I've sold some brass through the WhistleStop myself. I considered both Caboose and WS but chose WS only because it's local to me, but they take 30% of consignments, while Caboose only takes 20%. I've been to both places several times. Both are very reputable and have been around for several decades, so they know their stuff. I can appreciate your not necessarily wanting to sell the item. I was torn for similar (though still different) reasons over selling an S scale brass loco that was also literally mint . I did set a higher selling price (but not too high) to offset this lack of great desire to move it. In other words, if I sell it, OK because I got a premium. If I don't sell it OK because I wasn't real enthused to do so anyways. It took a year to sell and I almost pulled it out of consignment once or twice because I wasn't so sure. But now 7 months after selling it, I still don't have any real regrets at having done so. Best o'luck to you. Take care. Greg
