Post-War RCA A.M./F.M. Bakelite Table Radio

I have an RCA 3RF91 AM/FM Golden Throat radio. After a little disassembly and cleaning, it has turned out to be absolutely stunning. The bakelite and brass trim are flawless. So is the painted detailing. The A.M. works flawlessly. I have to work on the F.M., as that is silent. First, though, I have to clean the chassis.
When I am finished with the restoration, can I expect a worthwhile amount from an eBay auction? Or should I keep it for my listening pleasure? A.M. sounds fantastic. F.M. should be at least as good.
This is my 1st antique bakelite tube radio, though my entire Hi-Fi is tubes.
