Subject: What's a really old South Bend Lathe worth?

My dad has a SouthBend Metal Lathe sitting in the back of one of my sheds. It's got a 1906 patent date on it. It has an 18" swing and a 10ft bed. It hasn't been used in about 15 years because neither my dad nor I are machinist. Dad only ever used it to cut keyways on shafts. Kind of overkill for that! It's only got a 4 jaw chuck with it. There are a ton of cutters and other stuff that I really don't even know what it all is.

Hopefully you can see past all the crap sitting on it in the pictures! Does anyone have an idea of what this thing might be worth if I advertise it? I just want the shed space back. I'm not sure what it weighs, but I think it's got to be worth a fair amount by the pound! TIA!!
