Is a dead 6T5 worth anything ?

I have here a dead 6T5 , the heater is open . The standard last ditch effort of re soldering the heater pins failed , no continuity between pins 1 & 6 .

So my question is , knowing a working one is indeed a rare & valuable tube , is a dud worth anything to anyone as a possible display piece , for example ? Now bear in mind when I say "worth anything" I'm not talking money , it's a dead tube and I throw away dead tubes , but I figured before I threw out this dead tube I'd ask if it's so rare as to still be desirable to anyone who may want it for display ?

The mini tube lighting up in the tester is a 6ME5 , a tiny little 7 pin version of the 6U5/6G5 .
