I imagine an early one may be worth more. Can you get any more details? Do you know when it was made? Could you post some pictures?

It might take a couple of goes listing it, but I wouldn't want to let it go for much less, personally. As an aside- whereabouts are you/your dad in Brixham? My in-laws live down there. Lovely bit of the world $\:\)$
