It looks as if your stand has been painted numerous times. My vote would be to strip and paint, but that is up to the current owner. As far a value, it depends upon who is involved. A friend of my in the boating and outboard business since he was a little boy gave me one of those stands last year. Every so often, there is one on eBay of 3 or 4 hundred dollars. So, what are they worth? The usual answer is, "they are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them". It is not an exact science and there are no books in which to look up an answer. I usually suggest to eBay sellers to put a price that they think is acceptable and then add the "make an offer" button. Then, you may learn what the market will bare without giving it away.
