I would do pricing about at the level of repop. While originality is a plus, humid Florida environment has done its dirty work and potentially "debonded" the Bakelite material from the metal spider its built on. One may use this wheel and a chunk may suddenly come loose in ones hand.

So I would guess the two sort of balance out. For someone doing a "point" car this wheel is of value. His alternative is to buy a modern wheel and modify it to remove the seam and make it acceptable to be judged.
