Wow, you've got a really desireable boat anchor rig.

High power AM back in the 50's was a rarity -- most hams ran 50 watts or less unless they had a Collins, Heathkit DX100, or a Johnson Viking, or Valiant.

Somone was custom building a replica of these, asking $3000 or so for a copy.

I'd say it should be worth around $700-800, on up to over a kilobuck depending on condition.
