It's hard to determine a value. Around here, I've seen 15-91's sit on craigslist for a long time at really low prices.

I bought a near perfect 15-91 in a model 42 art deco cabinet full of accessories and attachments and even the little inkwell and the bench for $125. I bought a 15-90 in an identical cabinet (also stuffed, but missing the bench) last year for $125-150 - can't remember for sure. Then a couple of months ago, I bought another 15-91 in a slightly different style and a few years younger for $100.

All three of them required new or re-wired motors and electrical components ($50-100 each) and a lot of elbow grease to get them clean and smooth-running, again.
