Thank you both for your informative comments! I will certainly post some photos on here very soon and will be interested to know your evaluation then!
I have not looked at it closely in a very long time. it has been hanging on hooks in our garage for about 20 years! I do not know if it has rust anywhere or if there are scratches, etc. I tend to take very good care of my stuff, but time has a way of causing deterioration in spite of precautions sometimes
I am in northern New Jersey. I am not sure that i want to sell it; but was just wondering what it was worth. I am not even sure what it sold for in 1983! I was told that I was getting an employee discount in 1983, but I have no way of knowing for sure!
Thanks again and will get back with photos soon.
