while helping a friend of my mom move out of her house.....I came across this.....the women had no use for it and allowed me to have it. Its been sitting in storage now since then....

Should I try to sell it or hang on to it?

so there isnt a chance that this will become more valuable in the future......well more valuable in the sense that its a rarity and antiquitous not valuable in its usefulness

Keep it

That's one cool retro kitch decorating accessory.

Bring it in to school or work, see what the reaction is.

Or, open it up, see how it ticks.
