Those old compressors are beasts....I have one in the shop that I think is from the 50's....it weighs a ton! I got it for free from a friend because he moved into a new place and it was there when he moved in and knocked like no tomorrow. I brought it home and found a company that sells a rebuild kit. $300, a few hours of my time, and 5 years later it's still cranking away every single day in my shop. Much better than spending over $2k on a new one of the same size and capacity and having it last half as long.
That being said....I have no idea what market value is on it. But if someone wants one that will last it would be a great candidate.
Can you tell if the compressor is single or dual stage? I can't see in the pic...but does it appear to have one or two cylinders?
