I have no idea what its value is but I can say this: stripped and refinished it will have far less value in the eye of a collector. They absolutely cherish the aged effect on antiques. Making it look like it is brand new simply makes it look like it is a reproduction. You could take a new one, bury it for 20 years and it would look like a new phone that was buried for 20 years. You cannot duplicate 100 years of age.
