Hi John. As stated below Museum Victoria cannot advise on values or conservation/repair. You should contact a horologist in your area to advise you on these matters. See our Question of the Week on Horology for further advice: http://museumvictoria.com.au/discoverycentre/discovery-centre-news/horology/
